How long are we (the lowly ][ users) going to have to put up with this (put
appropriate expletitive here) from Big Red?  I am begining to hate the Mac as
much as the IBM!  We built this company to where it is now and they
steadfastly continue to ignore us and what WE want.  We can't get a decent
upgrade of a slow computer till they do that for the Macs first.  I remember
what I thought when I first saw the GS.  Its nice, its pretty, sounds pretty
good (but my Alpine sounds better) but was slow as a turtle.  That is why I
haven't bought one, and that is why I won't buy one until I feel it is a
worthwhile purchase.  And at this rate my next computer probably will not be a
product made by Apple since I don't like Macs and I can get a much better game
machine with a Amiga or a ST (that is all Big Red seems to think we should use
the ][s for anymore) and a lot cheaper.  And most of the ][ people I know feel
the same way.  All Apple continues to do is lose its devoted user base.  I am
still devoted to my ][e enhanced but eventually decent software will stop
coming out for it and I will make a change and unless Apple makes a change in
its policy of screw the ][ it will not be to an Apple product.
