At this rate Apple will be making the Mac II GTzx(extended), the Cortland Plus, and the Granny Smith SE before System 7 gets out of beta! The whole vaporware hype mentality owns the industry and even when (and I applaud Apple for making sure 7.0 works efficiently and bugfree) I have been properly warned that 7.0 will be a long time coming, it has been frustrating Imagine Apple's frustration; admittedly, it's been long enough since they first started talking about 7.0 that many have forgotten by now, but back in May of 89, when 7.0 was first mentioned, Apple told people about it because the Mac community at large was tired of getting no information on what was coming from Apple themselves. Now, by responding to the request for information, they've set themselves up for this "So, where the hell is it! We've been waiting forever!" stuff. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. -- R David Francis francis@cis.ohio-state.edu
