I publish @TidBITS and the TidBITS Content Network, serve as president of the Finger Lakes Runners Club, and direct and time numerous races in the Ithaca area.
Plus, although the original Mac sold only 250,000 units in the first year compared to ~500,000 for the Vision Pro, that's with an arguably higher price ($2500 is supposedly over $7000 in today's dollars) and in a vastly smaller market (~7 million PCs). It seems to me that a much higher percentage of the market saw the promise of the Mac.

A Farewell to Sharon Zardetto Aker, Doyenne of Mac Writers - TidBITS

Her work at MacUser and Macworld and in books like The Macintosh Bible, The Mac Almanac, and The PowerBook Companion—plus in TidBITS and Take Control—educated and entertained an untold number of Mac users.
@simon Your latest git-scraper mention got me wondering if it might be part of the solution I'm looking for to track new and changed Apple support pages. Apple just changed the URL ID format, but it still seems like a finite space. I wrote it up a while back in https://tidbits.com/2024/08/08/help-build-a-tool-to-track-apple-support-page-changes/
The perfect analogy that too few people will understand! (from @nilay_patel) Like any large open-source project, American democracy is kind of messy, requires a lot of volunteer effort, and often uses way too much memory.
