You think you'll buy a Mac simply becuase you know it'll be upgraded. 5 years ago the Apple II community used to think the the same thing. Mac users laugh at us, but wait, in 5 years the Mac will be in the same straights as the Apple II. That's the main reason Apple II user's (generally) will not buy a Mac after they give up their II (which, hopefully, they never will). Apple has left a very sour taste in many people's mouths and that makes it very hard to believe in them. The Apple II is more than a computer, it is a cult phenomenon. There "used" to be people that treated Apple Co. as a God, now they have become a traitor, and I think the entire Apple II community is just sitting around, waiting for the Mac line to get cut. But, until that day, myself and others will continue to do what we can to show Apple just what the Apple II can do, and what the precious Mac cannot. But, hey, I like my II, it does what I want (well, *nothing* does what I *really* want), and I don't really care what Apple Co. thinks. :) >UUCP: lsuc!graham!pnet91!sb >INET: sb@pnet91.cts.com -- +---------------------------S-U-P-P-O-R-T-----------------------------------+ |/ Tim Meekins <<>> Snail Mail: <<>> Apple II \| |> meekins@cis.ohio-state.edu <<>> 8372 Morris Rd. <<>> Forever! <| |\ timm@pro-tcc.cts.com <<>> Hilliard, OH 43026 <<>> /|
