What nonsense. That other companies might be as unresponsive and
deceptive as Apple has been on the 32-bit clean issue does not
excuse Apple.

What utter nonsense. When the technical specification in my owner's
manual says that the machine is designed to accept 4mb simms and it
doesn't, then it is not doing what it was designed to do.  It may
still be highly useful, but if it fails to meet the design
characteristics advertised by Apple, then it is defective nonetheless.
