The way for the end users such as ourselves to have a loud voice in the compnay is to buy stock. While our few shares taken individually are not paid attention to by Scully, and the other 'profit-minded' individuals, i f those of us who own a fe shares of stock were to band together through an association of 'vested owners' and make our wishes known, we would have a LOUD voice. Thanks to the the generous support of our government of interconnected computers lioke ARPA/USENET/ (Portal is my entry) think of the THOUSANDS of stockholders whoi can share opions and strategy. "propsals" to Apple won't work - but owners' demands will!
