Got mine in 85. Still have it in it's (now tattered) box in the garage. It's non-functioning, but can't seem to let go.
Apple, a 4T USD company, is not caught off guard. They know exactly how many of a certain thing they make will sell. This is just PR nonsense. They do it with iPhone also. They'll introduce a new model and make enough…
