Pretty impressive.

The death of the Macintosh was not impressive at all. It went out
with a whimper. After more than 20 years of scraping along as a niche
computer, the Macintosh has come to an ignoble, inglorious end.

Now the PC/Mac wars are over, and Apple is nothing but another PC OEM.

BSD Unix on a Wintel Clone... who'd have thought Apple would be
foisting that off on its Mac Loyalists?

All is not lost though...
