4 Years Ago: The iMac And PalmPilot Show Microsoft The Way (David Pogue, Macworld)
<http://www.macworld.com/1999/02/opinion/desktopcritic.html>
The iMac and the PalmPilot are both winners in a contest that many manufacturers don't even realize they're playing: the simplicity war. The iMac's success isn't based on price alone (plenty of Wintel boxes are cheaper still), nor on speed (plenty of Macs are faster), nor on its looks, great as they are. The one thing it's got over all other personal computers is the simplicity factor. In this regard, Apple's ads hit the nail on the head: you literally take this thing out of the box, plug it in, and turn it on.

I was born human. But this was an accident of fate - a condition merely of time and place. I believe it's something we have the power to change. I will tell you why.
