I love the closing quote:
"If [this machine] satisfies the need, it is never obsolete. (...) If the need continues to exist until the year 2000, then this machine is still satisfactory. There is no such thing as hardware obsolescence. That is a phrase that was coined by the naysayers in this industry. That's baloney."
It is so far from reality for the general public, but so true for my 1980's machines that are still very funny, to play with and program!
