Right - anyone remeber the Commodore Amiga?
Basically cross between PC, Mac and Unix. Since it was never sold as a proper business machine, and more of a 'game' device, it flopped.

On a more minor scale, OS-9 on the TRS-80 Color Computer was awesome, multi-user, multi-tasking, very powerful but on a weak selling computer in a saturated market...it didn't sell well. Much like the Newton, it was just way ahead of its time.

Re: Ha ha

I love how the discussions of today's computer environment heads down the road of geekdom it does here at BBR.

All of you pretty much hit the nail on the head as far as the origins of modern computer interfaces goes.

It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing I'm not the only geek in the world with this information tucked safely in the back of my brain.

I'm going to go boot my Apple II+ and run some BASIC programs, just for old time's sake
