Hi all: I'm an Apple II enthusiast who also dabbles in vintage Macs, although mostly as a means of running emulators and hardware like the Apple //e emulator board for PDS :)
One thing I've been pondering lately that I thought I'd bounce off the group is: What if Apple has never invented the Mac? What would the computer landscape have looked like? What directions would Apple have taken the Apple II? Would Apple's dominance in personal computers have continued rather than spending some years as a niche player? Would DOS/Windoze have been a big player? I'm also asking the same questions on Apple II forums, to get a sort of "pro" Apple II perspective, but I'm hoping to get a more "anti" perspective from Vintage Mac users (since for better or worse in essence Steve Jobs "killed" the Apple II to ensure the Mac would be the core product at Apple). I'll write up the responses into an article that I'll certainly share (I'm not doing this for a paid job FWIW, I wish!). Thanks!
