Oh, dear. An Apple product dead for ten years sucked. I guess I better not buy 
into OS X. Is that the logic? Well, more than half of the products in the list 
were for DOS or Windows. I guess I won't buy into Windows, then! 

I liked the M$ Windoze fanboy who responded to the article about Pippin with 
"Why can't the mac fanboys just realize that nobody really gives a damn about 
OSX?" What an idiot.
