Show me an irrational business decision made by a company that survived
the decision, and I'll show you an urban legend.

Nonsense, butter and dough. Emailer was end-of-lifed long before Mac OS
X was sufficiently formed to be a factor in any thinking. Any decision
process behind that was *strictly* rational. Just because that process
wasn't visible to those of us who weren't sitting around the conference
room table at the time, doesn't make it any less rational.

That much, at least, is correct.
