I want to know the answer to the following question:
What marked the start of a new direction for Macintosh?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The Macintosh II marked the start of a new direction for the Macintosh, as now for the first time it had an open architecture with several NuBus expansion slots, support for color graphics and external monitors, and a modular design similar to that of the IBM PC.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
