Lelinye lamabali anomdla wokuthetha kancinci, kwaye uMarion Stokes ugcine ingqokelela enomtsalane yeemveliso ze-Apple kwipakethe yazo yantlandlolo kwindawo yakhe yokugcina. Le yinto eye yabhaqwa emva kokubhubha ngo-2012 koku unomdla kwiimveliso ze-Apple Mac.

Eli linani elimangalisayo nelingazange libonwe ngaphambili leekhompyuter ezine Iimveliso ezingama-200 ezitywinwe ngokugqibeleleyo ngokungathi basanda kushiya iifektri zika-Apple. Phakathi kwazo zonke ezi mveliso kukho zonke iindidi zee-iMacs, kukho iilaptops, iNuBus PowerMacs, i-iBook G4 14″, iPowerBook 500 PCMCIA Modules, iWorkgroup Server 7250, uLisa okanye iMacintosh 512k ukongeza kwiiperipherals ezahlukeneyo ezivela kwinkampani. iapile elunyiweyo phakathi kwabanye.
Ngaba unokucinga ukuba eli nani leekhompyuter ezitywinwe ngokugqibeleleyo linokubiza ntoni kwiminyaka engama-20?

Ingxaki ayikuko ukuba wayengumlandeli wokwenyani njengoko abaninzi bebenokumbeka ngokweendidi, kodwa ebengumthengi onyanzelekileyo. Kulusizi ukuchitha ubomi bakho bonke ujonge ulonwabo kwii-stereotypes zika-Apple, ukuba namhlanje omnye umntu uthatha ithuba kubo.
