Definitely ignore me :-)
While I get what you're saying, the timing isn't quite like that. Two things: 1. The 68030 ran Apple System 6 and as a result Macs were slow and not "modern". 2. The Mac IIx came out at the end of 1988, which was the tail end of the 386 line. The 486 PCs arrived in mid 1989 in volume (so months later). The 486 quickly following with Windows 3, were significantly faster than Mac for all the things that were measured like Word, Excel, compiling, etc. The 68030 was an elegant chip, but the OS for it did not arrive until 1991. The spirit of the post is about integrated hardware and software. Sorry if I was not perfectly clear in this line. But by all means do not take anything I said seriously :-) reply |
