Hey, Mac-dudes!  You all should be rallying behind the Apple II and complaining
about Apple's failure to support it.  Why?  Because if Apple will do what it is
doing to its namesake, it will do the same thing to the Mac in five years or so.

Think about it.  Don't believe me?

Well, any of you Mac +/SE owners feel like you're being properly supported?
Can you upgrade to color?  Is Macintosh Inc. moving towards the Mac II and
forgetting its roots?  Hmm.  MacClassic, not withstanding, sounds like it.
When NeXT went color, they made it possible to upgrade (or rather it will be).

Also, Macintoshes keep going through different models.  Is there an upgrade
policy?  Can a Mac IIci become a Mac IIfx?  Why not?  How long until Apple
starts ignoring 68020 users?

You get the point, of course.  If we can't trust 'em, can you?  Hell, no.
You're as good as f**ked now.
