Did you know that the Macintosh Performa 6400 was the PC to have in 1997 if you wanted the best combination of performance and high quality software?
That's what this blog post reminds me of. I loved my Macs in the 1990s, but I knew I wasn't going to have access to a fraction of the software available to Windows machines at the time. Access to a wide-range of software was the killer feature of PCs, back then.
And in the case of social media, access to as many eyeballs as possible, reach, is the killer feature. Everything else is just features that add to or subtract from accessing that reach.
