[stuff re Central Point and their unwillingness to fix Copy 2+....]

Well there is a very easy fix to the problem. I use some Central
Point Software on my Macs. They are in a very competitive market
there, and there are alternatives. As such, I will be returning
their Mac product(Mac Tools Deluxe) with a note regarding the proper
way to treat long time customers.

The AppleII() market is far from gone, and Apple itself still has
some sensible people in positions of power. The dealer network and
some of the Apple reps need to be better trained, but it is far too
early to give up on Apple.

The Mac,GS and NeXT go well together. Perhaps Apple's main focus should
not be the high end but rather, as a useful gateway to information 
contained and generated by more powerful platforms.
