>> the Cat is sometimes called the spiritual successor to the Macintosh
My high school English teacher would have crossed out "is sometimes called" with a red note saying "weasel words".
In what sense is a text-only machine with no mouse the "spiritual successor" to the machine whose main claim to fame was pioneering [edit: or stealing from Xerox] the point and click GUI?
- bestham 4y agoIt is all there, the Cat is the spiritual successor to the original Macintosh. Jef wanted the Mac to be cheap and extensible. But Jobs wanted it to be a high end computer for professionals with expensive features. I read into to that that the Cat is the machine that Jef, who originally started the Macintosh project, wanted to build once he learned how what became the Mac was received by its users.
