33 years ago. I don't think it's a motivation here.
Negative in what way? In my experience they were excellent machines that had much better overall performance than the original "toaster" models. Their main problem was that they had non-square pixels, but people put up with that for many use-cases.
Would you like files with that?
The new iPhone naming convention sounds like a line of condoms.
They have an Xs, but it's hardly XS sized.
