these comments are attributed to Kay in Scully's book "Odyssee" :

Macintosh:

    ... a Honda
        with a one-quart gas-tank

    ... one of the world's best-designed transportation systems,
	but it can only take you to the corner store for celery and back.

    ... the first personal computer worth criticizing.

BTW, I found Scully's book interesting for contents, but I am surprised
that John Scully permitted it being published in the unfinished state
the manuscript seemed to be in.  It is my impression that it represents
a collection of interviews, comments, personal notes and diary of Scully,
that 2 persons used to write different sections of the book, leading to
repetitions, which are "obnoxious" (to be generous) and "unprofessional"
for what I consider a ghostwriter' task to be defined as (mainly to turn
out a readable book in good English style based on raw facts provided).

I'm rather confident that John Scully is dissatisfied with the final product
himself, but hope that this will not keep him from writing another book, maybe
3 years down the road.  I only hope he will hire a professional editor to
make sure that the final book-product is of higher quality.
