You are realy lucky, sure. Sometimes I think I also am a rumor, since I live between a mass of Amiga or IBM user. Inb USA you are thousands using a GS, here we are tens!! Reading and writing with you is like breath fresh air. The only trouble is that I am like a leech, since I can only hear interest things, and not able to tell you news!! Sorry.

This is one fact that makes me nervous about their continuing support of the // line--and most unhappy. Board #9: GS Exchange [OGG-Net] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My question, why is the //gs unavailable in europe, and is it true that apple is trying to put the MAC's in the K-12 market. When you consider the lack of response APple has shown for the // line, and what seems to me to be a massive ongoing development of the MAC, I also tend tp worry about the future of the machine that it seems that apple has forgotten. I hope that Dave Lyons, or some of the others at Apple might reply. I have promised to post your response on my local BBS, and I am informing anyone who answers that it will be reposted on a local networked BBS in San Jose. Rich
