    Agreed.   The only time I use apple link is to download the
    latest prices.  And for that I could call up Apple.  Also,
    last I saw, there was a gateway for UUCP <=> AppleLink.
    I've sent a couple of message from my FidoNet BBS via UUCP
    to AppleLink, and have receive messages back...

    For info you may want to contact fair@apple.
