To me the real punch line of this article is that almost every listed flop has subsequently given rise to major technology successes. DAT tape paved the way for CDs, Newton for PDAs leading to smartphones, even the PC, Jr. arguably was a forerunner, at least conceptually, of the very successful iMac. The paperless office hasn't exactly come to pass, but I sure get a lot less inter-office mail and print a lot less than I used to, and I think Adobe Acrobat & PDF deserves at least some credit on that account.
