What this author didn't know is that later in 2001 Apple were to release the

That's why the Apple Store succeeded - iPods, iPhones, iPads etc - not just
Macs (beige, aqua or otherwise).

That's an excellent point. Goes back to that same era when the
'experts' were totally convinced Apple had no business in the cellphone
market because it was too stitched up by the likes of Nokia (etc.) and
there was no room for a new, outside player.  Funny how wrong that was,
now that we see how it turned out.

Steve Jobs sure was a step ahead of the 'experts' all the time.
