Eric Mcgillicuddy complains that I posted a seemingly irrelevant
article about Mac System 7.

I was trying to point out that Apple has released a new system for
the Mac, and it ain't free. Did you read the whole article or just
punt right away?

On the other hand, who's to say that none of these features
absolutely won't appear in future versions of GS/OS? Keep an open
mind and see what other computers are capable of. Geez, maybe someday
yours will do it too. What a goof you'll look like when you say "ha!
My GS can do this and the great and high Mac can't!" when it has been
able to already.

Look me straight in the eye and tell me you have absolutely no
interest whatsoever on what the Mac can do. Believe or not, like or
not, the Mac is what is keeping Apple afloat these days and a big
failure on the Mac's part means certain doom for the company - which
immediately means no more Apple // development. On the other hand, a
big success (which I think System 7 will be) means future growth and
continued support where it exists now.
