Well I'm going to put in my >effort, but not in Apple bashing. > I'm sorry, but these kinds of posts just really IRRITATE me! Who says that we can't/aren't doing BOTH?!?!? I don't really call it 'Apple Bashing', but rather, 'COMPLANING'. I'm going to continue to voice my opinions until Apple starts supporting the // or just admits that they're not going to support it anymore and quit's promising things that they don't deliver. If we just sit back and don't say anything, then NOTHING's going to be done! If we try and DO something about it, like spread the word that we're not happy with the way things are going, just MAYBE something will be done! -Also, about the users supporting the machines with software, well that's just fine and Jim Dandy, but what do we do about hardware upgrades? If Apple stops supporting the //, you can bet that AE and other companies (are there any besides AE) will not hang around here much longer. Even if they did, What can they do besides offering a higher model // clone and effectively 'take over' the // market, which, I seriously, doubt will happen. I love my GS as much as anyone else (probably more), that's why I'm so vocal about it. If I didn't like it, I just wouldn't say anything about it, because I just wouldn't care what happened to the //. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | | This is your brain... | BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm | | This is your brain on drugs... | pro-line: | | This is your brain on whole wheat.| mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com | |____________________________________|_______________________________|
