The third debacle was choosing not to follow the market in low > end computing. They did attempt to do that with quite a few systems, but were too stupid to realise that they were never going to compete with Taiwan and that is why none of them ever achieved a damned thing. It took a long time before IBM woke up, smelt the coffee, and realised that too. Apple damned near died because they didn’t either but managed to work out what the problem was and diverged into very well designed low end stuff like the ipods initially and then went on to turn entire industrys like the mobile phone industry completely on its head and decided to not even attempt to compete with very low end phones made in asia and to concentrate on the high end and get them made in china for them. Google didn’t even attempt to do much with hardware, just provided the OS instead.
