Impressed to see, how many people read whole article, not see just one phrase: "We don’t need a lot of the things that other personal computers have, so let’s optimize a few areas and make sure the software is designed around them".

Mac was not cheap machine and Apple that time was not rich to make unnecessary thing - they really need to make a hit this time, and they succeed.

And yes, it is true, they was limited by bandwidth, it is also true they was limited by semi-32bit CPU speed.

But Mac was real step ahead at the moment, and had significant resources to grow when new technology will arrive. That what I think lack PCs of that time.
