Ya know, apple used to be the best computer company in the world. they produced excellent made in USA products and issued excellent doccumentation. The apple ii was a legend. Then one day it all stopped, and they became a total bastard company. if they wanted to they could ransack my home score my little fx clone and clean me up on that alone. I don't know what steve and steve did, but something went wrong. I am an apple tech, i get to see the ins and out of every apple product. They are simple, to darn simple. And the prices they charge for service, wow man they produce millionairs from third party service alone. I am really getting jack of apple and its "im the greatest" policies. they are really annoying. You know, a bloke had acid spilt on his mac, just a horrible little mac plus, and to obtain a new bezel for it was was hell. they demanded all these spec. the bezel had to be shipped off to apple reasearch like department to be verified and certified valid for their replacement program and crap, and to belive that the idiot payed over $4000 for the machine when he first bought it, and he gets a pile of bits and pieces while apple think about replacing has bezel. man, that sux. anyway, when i design my machine that is original, (hell knows how since virtually everything from screw color, to tube size is copyrighted) I'll make a company that will buy apple out, and turn there head swell marvell into an electronic kit factory. so, heaps of grumbles, lots of fun and action. thanks for the replies folks. steve h 1
