I certainly remember Cornerstone...
Infocom's ill conceived foray into the "productivity" applications market
that ultimately brought the company down.

I remember seeing it on the shelf of a local software store and wondering just
what the marketing types at Infocom were smoking when they came up with the
idea.

We'll never know where the single greatest game company of all time would
be today if it wasn't for those morons.
Sigh.
