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?
