These details about the Apple III and Lisa I/II failure are very
interesting. They explain how apple has stumbled twice but never
completely fallen as a PC design company. Each time they persisted in
trying to market a certain class of machine. Their persistence seems
to have eventually paid off handsomely (apple has gone on successfully
with the IIc, the IIe, and the entire family of 5 Macs).
IBM, I believe, only stumbled with the PCjr (and slightly with the
AT). They killed it any gave up on the market completely. I wonder
what will happen if they stumble with the new PS/2 line (which I think
they will) -- will they get out of the PC business of become a
spectator manufacture?
