IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED, HIT N NOW! In a preceding article, it was mentioned that "The name is the only way that the 240sx is similar to the 200sx"...paraphrased from memory. Anyway, this was in response to an Apple person's message defending Apple against some criticism. THIS ARTICLE IS NOT A FLAME, but I believe that the comparison of cars was not really the point. I would just like to take the time to say to Apple: Keep it up guys, you're doing a heck of a job. Even if I don't agree with your price manipulations, I think you produce great computers, and I felt I had to respond to all the various 'Black Apple' statements on the board. A question: Most of the yelling at Apple has been in respone to what seems to me to be higher management decisions. Does anyone at Apple know how many of the truly exalted types read the Net? just curious...anyway, to summarize... I LOVE MY MAC! AND THE ONLY WAY ANYONE IS GONNA GET IT OR MY COMPUTING DOLLARS (JOBS INCLUDED) IS TO PRY THEM FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!!! Ok. sorry all for the outburst. Any flames to me about using up net bandwidth, even though i don't agree with you, :-), at least email them to me rather than use up more bandwidth yourself.
