Have you heard of all of those devices? I haven't.

Apple 3 (1980)
When you’re looking for a home computer that will probably overheat and catch fire, look no further than the
Apple 3. The successor to the hugely popular Apple 2 (see what they did there), this was a huge flop. Also, a
genuine fire hazard.

Apple Lisa (1983)

The Lisa was actually pretty groundbreaking for its time – it was one of the first personal computers to utilise
Picdump Pictures a graphical user interface (ie: on screen icons), came with a mouse, and could multi-task across programs. All
very impressive for 1983. The $10 thousand price tag was considerably less impressive. In today’s terms it
equates to approximately $22 thousand. Ouch.

Macintosh Portable (1989)

TOP 5 OF YESTERDAY
A portable Mac! Sweet... Wait, why do I have these crippling back pains? Maybe it’s because this laptop
weights over seven kilos and is larger than a briefcase. Crapsticks.

Apple Newton (1993)
(6 pics + video)
The original iPad. Released in 1993, the Newton was an all-in-one portable office that could send faxes
(remember those?), splutter out emails, store your clients’ details, take notes and other relevant stuff.
Anyway, its man claim to fame was its ability to read handwriting (via stylus input). Unfortunately, this
MOST ACTIVE USERS feature was less reliable then your weed dealer. Also, it cost $1000 bucks.

Louie Macintosh TV (1993)

Total comments: 2682 If you’re going to release a computer that can display TV signals on the monitor than you wanna make sure it
can actually do so. The Macintosh TV was a bit of a shambles and watching TV on it was slightly less satisfying
poking yourself in the eyes with a stick.

August 2010 (778) QuickTake (1994)
July 2010 (845) The QuickTakes were some of the very first digital cameras available on the market, which again points to
June 2010 (870) Apple’s uncanny knack for meeting needs that consumers don’t yet know they have. A QuickTake camera was
May 2010 (752) easy to use, had a .3 Megapixel resolution (which isn’t bad for 1994), and ranged in price from $600 to $750.

Apple Pippin (1996)

A mutant PC/games consoles hybrid, this was a bit of a mess from the get-go. Apple partnered with Japanese
entertainment giant Bandai and somewhere along the way things got lost in translation. Released around the
same time as the original Playstation, this quickly sank without a trace, selling fewer than 45 thousand units
internationally.

20th Anniversary Macintosh (1997)

Creating a deluxe version of your computer to mark 20 years in the business is all good and well. Charging
nearly $8000 for some pointless ‘special features’ and a new casing? Not so much.

You can't expect to fire your company's founder, only to hire him back 10 years later
and not have your own built-in jokes. +1
