It was a blast to listen to this recounting of the early and mid-life struggles of Apple, with, to my mind, a recognizable era: when the Mac of the 90s was an exciting line. As Siracusa pointed out, there were many lines, but there were great machines. My college roommate lusted over the Quadra; I nearly bought an early PowerPC model, but went with a Performa 630 CD and a SCSI drive for additional storage (to my regret).

It’s wild to think that there are people who are using Apple devices who didn’t experience this period, and then again people who weren’t even born at the time, who are doing same.

If you, like me, can’t get enough of this kind of chatter, the Verge’s How Steve Jobs Saved the Macintosh episode of Version History is a great watch (or listen).
