Any of you West-Coasters hip for picketing the offices in Cupertino? I think the idea of a consumer base being so loyal to a product that they picket the negligent manufacturer would be so novel that media (certainly MacWeek) would probably pick it up!! Then we got publicity!!!! I'm serious about this. Apple has used terrible business sense in handling the Apple //, especially in their empty promises. Its behavior has been appalling. Consumers should not allow large corporations to get away with this. It's not the way business should be done. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |Jeremy Mereness | Support | Ye Olde Disclaimer: | |jm7e+@andrew.cmu.edu (internet) | Free | The above represent my| |a700jm7e@cmccvb (Vax... bitnet) | Software| opinions, alone. | |staff/student@Carnegie Mellon U.| | Ya Gotta Love It. | -----------------------------------------------------------------------
