A/Ux does have some advantages over other Unix implementation (user friendly interface for one). According to the trade papers, future releases of most Macware for the standard Mac interface also will run under A/Ux (offering the possiblity of an even larger library of available applications). However, the MAIN reason why Apple sets the prices they do is because customers must feel that's what the products are worth (else why would they pay them?). I'd like to have the purchasing power of GM, and Exxon too, but complaining about it won't help. --------------------- Disclaimer: I like my opinions better than my employer's anyway...
