I agree with all of you that Macintosh and Lisa/2 are neat and
snaz-ee machines and wonderful to look at on the inside.  But
these are techy raves.

It will take more than a superior technology to defeat IBM...
just as IBM was capable of capturing the market with an
inferior technology.

Remember that IBM already has a huge client base and an even larger
VAD and retail/service network for its PC.

Technology alone won't save Apple... nor will it defeat IBM
(but we can hope and pray heh heh).
