midas touch

SEE?!? not everything Apple touches turns to gold!
there was 1996's gaming system attempted in collaboration with bandai pippin... ever seen a commercial for one of these???
and there was the prohibitively expensive ($3500) Apple III released in 1980... "customers who experienced problems with the unit were instructed to lift the machine three inches and drop it in order to reseat the chips" riiights... how very technical!
from 1993-1998 the tried the Apple Newton that was another disappointment...
they finally got their shit together and pulled out of a joint Motorola/iTunes phone/music player that launched in 2005 as the 1st phone intergrated with music.
joint venture? HA! hello iPod, hello iPhone... hello unecessay yearly updates to every single product... it's like cars! instead of the 2008 toyota corolla, we have the 2008 iPod [inset product name here]
