Sorry, I'm nagging around here, but I feel Apple (Europe?) has abandoned us|
For example: I need an extra megabyte to make programming the GS more
             comfortable. The obvious solution is to sell my Apple 1 Meg card
             (which served me very well) and my RamPak 4GS with 512kb (which
             I got from an Apple shop to keep my mouth shut after a bad deal)
             and buy an AE GSRam + 2 Meg.
             I took the Apple Belgium price-list and WOOOOooowww||||
             -> 1 GSram Plus with 2 Megabytes          = 75.000,- or $1875
             Correct me when I am wrong, but doesn't that sell for about $500
             in the USA? The same thing goes for PC-Transporter, Ramworks...
Happily enough, I know now somebody who functions as A REAL Apple Dealer
(while he still has a job as a teacher:Busy busy...) I advice all my friends
(or half of the Flemish Apple owners) to buy their stuff there. The man
is willing to trade in my Applecard and the OrangeCard for the AE GSramPlus
with 2 Meg, but I have to add 20.000,- (or $500) not a bad deal, knowing
that those two cards were free. I already bought myself a Sonic Blaster
(only 125% of the American Price). I think a new future is in sight|
To Lachs and the Argentinian (name?): The best solution is maybe,
to start a new Apple Dealer shop. No fancy shop, but a room in a house,
with an Apple //. Users, like us, could then offer other users (like us)
cheaper service (but still make profit if that's your aim (not mine|))
If something is wrong, send it to CDA or any other Better Apple Shop in
America. If AE has a new (always) powerfull product, order it in greater
quantities and try to get a discount. It begins to work here|
Apple America is fine, but DEAD to all the overseas Official Apple Dealers
