Interesting... I won't especially complain about the way Apple Germany supports developers; I'd rather like to complain about the way they neglect the non-Macs at all. It doesn't matter whether you address them via (snail-)mail or e-mail, you won't get an answer (the German AUGE *IS* registered developer; nevertheless we weren't important enough to get one). It is hard to find a dealer who has System Disk 4.0; you won't find System Disk 5.0 anywhere. And when I tried to get a bit of support via Apple USA they just told me that it was Apple Germany's business. If I hadn't found some merciful American who sent me a copy of System Disk 5.0... Sometimes I feel like living in a underdeveloped country 8-(. Apple (Germany) is clearly trying to find a way of dropping the // line. And I don't know whether this is also a warning for Mac users who will experience the same when Apple introduces a new line. Achim
