The Rhapsody strategy was a flop for sure. Much better when they  
revised the Toolbox into Carbon. It distracted the C++ developers  
long enough for them to fall in lurve with Cocoa!
eWorld became AOL, Newton was NOT a flop, neither was the TAM - I've  
seen enough of them in the field. My quicktake still works...

I'd be tempted to add:

	PowerTalk
	CoolTalk
	Dylan
	HotSauce
	OpenDoc
	

waitforit...

	iPhone? (Cos Apple can't repeat the success of the iPod yadda yadda)
	AppleTV? (Cos Apple can't repeat the success of the iPod yadda yadda)

	LOL!
