Surface Studio, the ultimate Dorico machine?

I know Apple has gone seriously downhill, but certainly you’re old enough to remember when Apple championed the creative industries that kept it in business during the 80’s and 90’s, no?

Well, back in the 1980s, I can remember teaching myself Unix by logging on interactively to a Cray 2, so I could port some software from previous Cray machines (everybody who already knew how to do “real work” was too busy doing it to spend time teaching newcomers). The Apple Lisa didn’t figure much in my computing world back then!

FWIW Apple did buy a Cray supercomputer, to design some of the Mac models - and being “creative,” they ordered a custom paint job on the cabinet which was mostly a lurid shade of purple. Whatever turned them on, I suppose! (When Seymour Cray heard about the Apple order, he commented that all he needed to design the next Cray was a pad of squared paper and a #3 pencil).
