Well after using Mac's for around 5 years( and liking them) that is exactly
what I did. Repackaging isn't working for the american automobile industry
and it won't work in this one either. Apple would do well to listen to 
some of its talented engineers a bit more as opposed to the MBA types.
I am very disappointed with Apple. Of course it is a free world and as
you pointed out we could all buy dishwashers. Thank's for the advice. My
wife is most grateful. The IIci and IIfx were taking up a lot of room.
You might try adding the word price/performance to your vocabulary, but I
forgot that the most powerful computer isn't the one with the most Mips,
MFLOPS,HD,etc...It's the one that gets used the most! You must take us all
for idiots.
