Have you actually looked at what it takes to make a
modern Mac vs a PC?? I can tell you that they *are* technical
marvels from a number of different perspectives?manufacturing, industrial design, thermal
management, etc.
That was equally true in 1984. But I guess you had to be there.

C: Again whatever technically innovative marvels were built into early Macs, it didn't
make up for thoroughly subpar hardware. And yeah I was there. It's a fun toy, I
totally give it that. But it wasn't worth 2500$ w/128k ram. And no dedicated graphics
chip. The whir WHIR whir of the disk drives was a plus though in my book.
