>This is a field where one does one's work and in 10 years it's obsolete and really will not be usable in 10 to 20 years.
There are many, many examples of technologies that have been around several decades and will be around for several more.
I also disagree with:
>You can't go back and use an Apple I...You won't be able to even fire it up and see what it was like
In the last year I've used emulators for a Commodore 64, an Apple II and arcade computers from the late 70s / early 80s.
With the other examples you gave of things that have been around for several decades, I think Steve really missed the mark on this.
