Browsing through the APPRODUCT area of Compu$erve for the first time in a
while, I ran across the following messages of interest.

Hi Everyone!
I'm sure you all wish to join me in welcoming John Sculley to MAUG! This is
truly an historic occasion as the top executive of a huge computer corporation
like Apple makes time to come online and meet and talk with us! John is
appearing in the Macintosh New User Forum (GO MACNEW) and in the Apple II and
III Productivity Forum (GO APPROD)..

Here are just a few things to know about how we will be conducting this area:

As you can imagine, John's responsibilities mean that he simply can't check on
every day. But, he will be here as often as his schedule will allow him. And,
rest assured that every message addressed to John will be seen by him as people
from Apple will drop by regularly to capture section 12 here for John's
perusal.

This is not a technical support hotline. Please do not raise technical support
issues ("How can I get my SCSI card to work") here.

John will most likely reply to questions that more than one person asks in a
sort of group reply. Also, John asks that people not send EMAIL to him because,
to maximize his time on CompuServe, he wishes to have all his messages posted
publicly in the two Forums

But John is, indeed, looking forward to and planning on interacting personally
with as many MAUG members as he can! So, let's all try to make John's visit
here both informative and fun for us, John, and the whole Apple II Community!
Thanks much,

-- Neil Shapiro

Hi John --
Welcome to MAUG! I know that this is not your first time "here" as I recall
both the Stockholders' meeting we held online as well as the online new Mac
products announcement of a couple years back. I guess it's no surprise to you
that the Apple Community is more connected then ever and that we are all
extremely excited and honored that you would be here to meet us.

Traditionally, I usually start off a guest appearance here by throwing out the
first question of the "session." Well, I don't think that there will be much
need for me to try to drum up discussion as I am sure you will be inundated
with all sorts of questions very soon!

So, rather then ask you a direct question, I'd like to ask you what it is that
you would like to discuss here? Here we have, waiting for you, probably the
most representative cross-section of the Apple II Community that you could ever
find. We have programmers, we have artists, we have professional people, we
have blue-collar workers, we have people who love their Apple II's, and we have
people who think of their Apple II's simply as tools. Our membership has both
the CEOs from some of the world's top software and hardware firms as well as
people who are quite new to using their computers. All concerned with using
their Apple II's and the future of that computer.

I wonder if there is anything you might like to ask us as to what we all might
perceive as Apple's future, or our reactions to Apple's plans or goals?
Whatever you would like to discuss -- please feel free to drop a message to ALL
about it because I know that you will get a tremendous response.

Again, thanks for being here and thank you for running a company like Apple
which cares so much about the people who use their products.

-- Neil Shapiro (Chief Sysop)
