That $150M investment was a symbolic gesture that made no difference to Apple’s actual survival, since Apple’s financial situation wasn’t actually that dire. The part of the agreement that was crucial was Microsoft’s promise to continue making Office for Mac for 5 years.

Man, I would have hated having to switch to windows, especially back then. I still prefer Mac, but the windows of today is far more tolerable.

Yes, the terrible ambition of wanting to eliminate diseases that kill or maim millions each year. The gall!  ::)

I read that if a vaccine causes problems, you can't sue the manufacturer. Not sure how true that is but if it is, it should be changed so that the anti vaxers would have one less argument against vaccines.

Linux started to become usable for everyday use not too long after that time. It just didn't catch on since Windows 2000 and Windows XP were pretty decent.
