How Steve Jobs saved Apple with the online Apple Store
This story left out a VERY important part.
Macintosh clone company, Power Computing sold their poorly made but inexpensive Mac clones solely online via their very advance (for it's day) web site that allowed the customer to custom build their Macs with just a few mouse clicks. This was in 1993, before Steve Jobs returned to Apple. The Power Computing website was very effective and successful.
When Jobs returned to Apple, he immediately cancelled all Mac clone licenses and bought the Power Computing store website.
In very short time, the site was adapted to Apple's Mac line up.
Original credit for the Apple Store website goes to Mac clone company, Power Computing.
