First gen RX7 is still great to me.
Apple LISA was way ahead of its time both in price and technology.
Gamers spend $10-$20K on gaming machines these days. You can also spec a modern Apple Pro for $30K these days.
Betamax was a better media that professionals used for the longest time. But in the end it died well before VHS.
We can also add Apple Newton to the mix. But it was a start to modern smart phones and tablets
Fax machines are also on its way out. But I still have one!
