I am involved with being a certified developer and a VAR and I don't think
anyone in Apple knows what is going on.  Tommorrow (5/31) Mr. Espanosa told my
partner they are releasing a document about third party hard disks for the
Mac.  I think the story about them not making hard disks is true, but then
in dealing with Apple who knows what is right?

They are a terrible company to deal with commercially.  Months before they
cancelled the Lisa, we told them we were basing our product on it and we
have to read in the Wall Street Journal to find out that it is being cancelled.
We even had some higher up tell us to read InfoWorld or something like that
to get info, they knew more than he knew, and he works there in marketing!!!!

I hope the ROM updates are free, I feel a bit cheated having bought a brand new machine a few weeks ago from the factory and find it has all the old software.  You would think buying it from the source would get you the latest and
greatest considering this is my evaluation machine!!!

If only they didn't make such a nice machine, I would have long considered
some other machine......  We can only hope they get their act together!
