> dark time for fans of the Mac can't agree. yeah you were expecting them to go under each day, and OS-development slowed to a crawl (7.5.x releases seemingly dragged on forever). but things were moving in the right direction, technology was exiting and the future even more so. compare that to now, where things have been moving in the wrong direction for decades now and each day there is more lockdown, surveillance and user/consumer-hostile nonsense. the past's future didn't turn out freeing and exciting, but boring, depressing, restricting and homogeneous.
