OS Roadmap

< The MacOS Roadmap as told by Dr. Seuss

We did not kill the MacOS.
We did not toss it in the trash.
We did not dump it all for NeXT.
We did not know that 8 was hexed.

We shall code long into the night;
Developer wrath gives us fright.
Enterprise markets gained for we;
Whizzy graphics--hey, leave it Be!

PowerPC for the masses,
And Intel chips for the....
Two OS's we will support,
And QTML we will port.

We've nothin, nothin more beside.
Our friends, we took you for a ride.

Did you kill the MacOS?
Did you toss it in the trash?

We did not kill the MacOS.
We did not toss it in the trash.
We did not do an awful crime.
We could not, would not anytime.

Did orders come from above,
To kill the Mac we all love?

The order was not from above,
We cannot even buy that love.
We did not toss it in a sack.
We did not, could not kill the Mac.
We did not do an awful crime.
We could not, would not, anytime.

And now all's said, we can return
Glory days for which we yearn.
And if this plan does not bring you glee,
Jobs will bring back the Apple III!
