Once again I have to read something like this:

"You'd feel the same way if Apple was dissing you at every opportunity.
Just wait...when Apple comes out with a new line of computers, you Mac
owners will be in the same miserable condition as all of us with Apple
IIs.  (Actually, Mac users will probably be worse off since they're a
bunch of computer illiterates who know nothing about what makes their
machines tick. :-) )"

And Ben has piut it quite clearly that this is not one of those 'my computer is
better than your computer' arguments.  It is simply a matter of people 
prefering to move on to newer, better and most of all, better supported 
technology while some people prefer to whine and scream about what they have 
and how they want it never to change.  Though the part about computer 
illiterates above might have been meant as a joke, it is unfortunately sad but 
true that apple II owners are starting to appear more and more than that bunch 
of CP/M owners that still hovers over their machines, wishing CP/M were still 
around.  Granted, and amusing phenomenon, but definitely also sad to observe.

Liek I said earlier, it seems to me that the only argument left to them is "You
just wait and see what apple will do to you next'.  Pretty stuupid if you ask 
me.  If apple truly comes out witha new machine that leaves the Mac behind 
(Like the knowledge Navigator) I will be glad to leave the Mac behind in 
exchange for something new.  Face it, technoogy moves on, and you have the 
choice to either stay behind in the caves, or move up to the condos.  I prefer 
running water and central heating... :-)
