The Mac IIfx was what killed Apple for me.  The platform was
nice, but Apple lied about the SCSI in the IIfx being the
fastest available.  The IIci SCSI was much faster.  They also
never properly supported the serial ports, and the RAM used
in the IIfx was supposed to be the RAM used in the follow-ons,
but Apple instead changed.  They also promised the follow-on
would be a IIfx-style chassis so the IIfx would be upgradeable
to the newer systems.  Instead, Apple went completely different,
making the IIfx an evolutionary dead-end and waste of money.
