RE: Mac is the AS/400 of Desktop Computing per Dvorak

In all fairness to John Dvorak, I find the comparison between the
Macintosh and the AS/400 to be very appropriate.  I don't agree with his
conclusion that the Macintosh should be discontinued (and by implication
the AS/400 as well).

Both machines are technically a step above their competition.  Both have
evolved over time in both features and stability.  Neither has been able
to dramatically increase their market share relative to their
competition.  Both are increasing their conformity with Open Standards.
Both have a very loyal following.  Neither gets much respect outside of
their following.
