Always???
Lets see....
1) Apple III computer, circa 1980 - overheating problems.
2) Lisa - Thousands buried in a landfill for a tax credit.
3) SJ's Next computer - never found a market, until Apple bought it.
4) Power Mac Cube - Shelved within a year after it was introduced.
5) Apple Cyberdog - It was a dog.
6) Taligent - Dead after a few years
7) EWorld - Dead after two years.
8) Pippin - Couldn't compete with Sony Playstation, Sega Saturn and
Nintendo 64. Less than 45,000 sold.
9) 20th Anniversary Macintosh - Discontinued after one year, could the
$7,499 price been a factor?
10) Macintosh Portable - The $6,500 price killed it off.
11) Newton - The "future of computing". Six year life.
12) Puck Mouse - No one could figure out which end was up.
