In the last posting you said that you could still get upgrades.
Where pray tell are you getting the upgrade to the ROM 03 machine (IIgs)?
Give us an address so that we can call them. Last I heard Apple was NOT going
to make the upgrade available! This is supporting us? This is changing
motherboards? SINCE WHEN?!?!?!?
     As for operating systems, that is a nice touch. They create a "better" OS
and we get it and find out it has just as many (and potentially more dangerous)
bugs than the last version. Oh and it is nice how Apple updates it's machines.
7 new MACs in about 1 year, but all they throw the // line are two VERY lean
bones, the c+ and the "new" II(bd)GS. What's the point? At least if Apple would
just come out and say that they're not going to support the line we coould all
start saving our money for MACs or IBMs. Maybe even an AMIGA. Atleast IBM has
the politeness to TELL it's users that they won't be supporting machines any
more. An as for C=, they just don't come out with the machines as often, saving
old customers from having to moan about no upgrades. It's time Apple got back
on track and realized that most of those people who learned on an Apple II in
high school would like to have a machine in college or in the office that they
are familiar with. You'd be amazed at how many papers are typed on AppleWorks
because the people are used to it. Apple has got a great machine. Now they
should support the people who support them.
