Top Ten Mac Losers and Winners

By Scott McNulty

MLAgazine, a website devoted to computer history, has posted a pair of articles that caught my attention. The first of the two focuses  on those Mac products that just didn't make it; listing 10 of the worst

Mac failures as rated by MLAgazine. The second article lists the top 10

Mac winners, again as picked by MLAgazine.

Keep on reading to find out more.

The losers include:

  • Pippin
  • OpenDoc
  • Mac TV
  • Mac XL/Lisa
  • Microsoft Word 6.0
  • Copland
  • eWorld
  • Puck Mouse/Kiddie Keyboard
  • Flower Power/Blue Dalmatian iMac
  • Macintosh Portable

And the winners are:

  • Macintosh Classic
  • Mac OS X
  • iMac
  • PowerBook G3 (Pismo)
  • PowerMacintosh 6100/7100/8100/9150
  • Quadra 700
  • PowerBook 100
  • PowerBook Duo 230
  • System 7
  • ClarisWorks

What would you add or remove from either list? I would add iTunes to the winners list,
because it is responsible for a lot of the success that Apple is enjoying at the moment. The one large item missing from the losers is, as much as it pains me, the
Cube. I own a Cube and I love it, but it just flopped.
