	Look, a lot of people gained something from the change and nobody
lost anything.  If you're jealous of someone else's good fortune, keep it
to yourself.  It's debatable if the way they went about doing it was correct
(right thing, wrong way) but it was certaintly an improvement.  You knew
you only had a 90 day warantee.  You knew AppleCare was available.  And you
blew it.  Tough.  
	Prehaps everyone that's slightly missed a free software upgrade
should send you a note.  Prehaps everyone that's missed a free upgrade
because they didn't keep the receipt should as well.  But I think you're
too busy feeling sorry for yourself to listen.

	Now the dealer network, *that's* something to complain about. :-)
