So what you are saying is that in 1990, Sculley was tabbing thru his MacUser
magazine or whatever, and some ugly guy said that Macs should be more like 
walkmans, so he said, "Gosh, he's right.  If we keep this slow pace up, then 
Sony will buy us out or something!"...? I have a Discman from 1991 and It 
plays all the latest CD titles, as fast as all the new discmans play them...  
Also, in about 4 years when I want to buy a new piece of music, I won't have
to go out and buy a PowerDiscman or anything...
