Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Listen, there wasn't more than a fringe market for the luggable, either. Common wisdom is that they only designed and built it to compete with the Compaq Portable, which also didn't really have a market.

The Macintosh Portable didn't do so hot either when it came out. They did fairly well among fire departments, I'm told. They could be set up and accessed in the fire engines while on call.

A typical case of a solution in search of a problem.

Doesn't mean the solutions don't solve problems, just that people were "getting by just fine, thanks," beforehand.

hey you can type one line faints from astonishment

EDIT: just so i'm clear, if it's a wall of text on something i'm actually interested in then i'll read it instead of glancing. Like when you type up a review of a movie i'm considering watching or what you've been posting about oblivion remaster.

I'm not too offended - to be fair the wall of text I suspect you are referring to is critical primarily of the EFF's article, and unless one is invested in defending the EFF's PoV, is thus not relevant to one.
