Seems to me the loud complaints are coming from the people who
were too foolish to buy the computer they needed.  I too thought
the Macintosh was cute but I couldn't figure out any way to
justify buying one.  If a dozen good graphics adventures are
marketed for the "Fat Mac" I might buy one.  Otherwise, it is
clearly targeted as a desktop accessory for the executive, not as
a hobbyist or home machine.

We all heard similar complaints when people jumped on the home
computer bandwagon and bought some other machine that they had
no justifiable use for, including Apple IIs.  It is not the fault
of the manufacturer that the computer does not meet your needs,
although it might be the fault of the salesmen.

I find it hard to believe that Apple's mainstay is currently the
Macintosh.  Does anyone have accurate accounting figures on the
various Apple products?
