All of the Apple bashing that goes on in this news group has destroyed
it!  Instead of being a clearing house of new ideas and applications, it has
become home to a great deal of crying and moaning.

I, along with many others here at OSU, have decided that the chore of
wading through all of the apple flame news is no longer worth the effort
to learn more about the machine we own.  I think that this is
really sad, especially since this problem wasn't caused by apple, but by
us, the users of the net. 

If you don't like what apple is doing, don't buy apple.  If you want 
a new product, encourage other company's like Video Technology to fill
the void, or start your own!  I just have a really hard time believing that
Apple cares what this net has to say.  They haven't listened yet, and I
don't think that they are going to start now.

Yet we the users, with our piles of hate mail, have all but destroyed a
once great group.

     OSU says what it says. I say what I say. We don't say the same thing.
