"No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame." --Rob Malda, on the iPod at its release in 2001

  The iPod didn't take off until 2004.

    Interesting that it never gained wireless but was still a phenomenal success.

      But the line of argument that says, "Some dude once dismissed an Apple product that turned out to be successful, thus all future dismissals of Apple products are invalid" is still silly, and people should not make posts that are nothing by that quote. Honestly, here in Anno Domini 2015, I'm not sure that that quote is ever relevant to anything. But if you're going to make an argument that there's some parallel between Malda's sentiment and somebody else, at least, you know, argue it. We can all come up with snide quotes that sort of vaguely involve one of the principles under discussion.
