All you guys whining about how Apple doesn't give support should
have to develop Windows programs for eternity.  Apple does the
best it can under trying circumstances, IMHO.  Why should they
give free support to anyone who wants it?  They are a business,
not a benevolent society.  Sure, guys out there writing shareware
and doing Mac consulting help sell Macs, but there are a lot of
registered developers, probably more than Apple can handle anyway.

But, for a bad time, try to get support while programming for
Windows.  You get to pay big bucks for absolutely nothing.  At
least you get some honest effort for your money, a lot of
useful software, etc.  From Microsoft, you get junk mail offering
to sell you more crap.
