PC World says Apple's Pippin is the "worst"

PC World magazine listed Apple's ill-fated game console, the Pippin,
22nd on their list of the "25 Worst Tech Products of All Time,"
writing:

"Apple had an Internet-capable game console that connected to your TV.
But it ran on a weak PowerPC processor and came with a puny 14.4-kbps
modem, so it was stupendously slow offline and online. Then, too, it
was based on the Mac OS, so almost no games were available for it. And
it cost nearly $600--nearly twice as much as other, far more powerful
game consoles."

Of course, we recognize the Pippin not only for its contribution to the
annals of also-ran consoles, but also as fodder for years of subsequent
rumors of another Apple game console. Of course, it also lets Mac
zealots everywhere point and stomp, claiming gaming consoles as yet
another area where Apple beat their arch-nemesis Microsoft to the
proverbial punch. Might want to let this one die fellas, it's just
better that way.
