Gregory's Server@chockenberry @bynkii Well I seem to remember a MacWorld article implying a lot of profanity at the time… https://www.macworld.com/article/208838/xserve-30.html
More seriously, I just tried to remember a past event that would have caused you, the local reference for profanity, a similar reaction to Craig’s; I’m not directly comparing the two announcements at all.
@PierreLebeaupin @chockenberry oh holy shit, I forgot that article. Which brought back a lot of memories.
I think I was really more pissed about the lack of communication (which apple is still just shit at) than anything else. I have no doubt the numbers supported the decision, but the lack of communication, and the absolutely obviousness that Apple did not have a good follow-up at the time were clear.
Looking back, a lot of things are obvious, but at the time, ye gods.
