I understand discontinuing a product but could never
quite figure out why
you would actually destroy equipment. I mean what is the point?
I'd imagine they were concerned about 10,000 MacXLs cutting
into the selling of Mac 512ke & Mac Plus models...
OTOH, if it happened during the Jobs era, no logic or
reason was likely involved; Jobs has a proven track
record of killing Apple products he personally dislikes.
But pepsiboy may have been Lisa's nail-in-the-coffin,
I just can't recall...
