At the time 90% of people had never even touched a Mac.
- vunderba 4mo agoMaybe so but that’s not the argument the article is making. The article is claiming that there was only one alternative way to use a computer, and that was through the use of obscure command-line semantics. Anecdotal, but Macs weren’t as uncommon as you might think, since they were subsidized in scholastic environemtns. I remember using them as an elementary school kid. Even the title of the article is absurd and ignores subsequent revolutions like Wi-fi, NT architecture, the page rank algorithm, cloud computing, etc.
