It's not "from Apple", it's from a guy named Bill who works there and is
posting ON HIS OWN TIME.  Lighten up just a little bit, OK?   And I don't
know where you've been, but the responses of Apple people on Usenet are
invaluable and much more frequent than those of most other companies.

I suspect that the simple and obvious reason System 7 isn't in more places
just yet is that it was released practically the instant it was finished,
not after weeks of priming the distribution channel.  Would you rather that
Apple had made us wait even longer for the release?
