as another enthiast who bought a 128K mac in '84, a used Mac+ in '86,
founded the Mac user's group at Hewlett-Packard, carried a personal
Mac into work intill the powers that be saw the high level of productivity
coming from me and bought me a company owned Mac, I wish to echo the
previous statement. the MacII at list price is at the limit of my personal
budget and AUX totally blows any hope away. I have been a solid booster
from the begining, and some of the people that i have worked with have
accused me of being an Apple undercover agent. With the increased price
of software and hardware, I'm actively looking for an affordable alternative
to Apple products. I think that unless Apple becomes more price competitive,
its time to look and see what's Next!
