I just wish someone with flack at Apple would give us owners some reason to
continue to support their machines.  After all the negative coverage resulting
in a lot of rumors, why doesn't someone get up and STAND UP for their machine?
Or are they all to ashamed to say something positive about the IIgs?

It just is hard for me to understand, along with many others, why it can take
them 3 years and still not have any improvement on the IIgs hardware, and yet
develop a handful of Macs in the same time.  How about SHARING some of that
technology that all of that II series profits went to R&R for the Mac?????

I too work on Macs extensivly, but if Apple drops the II line - or doesn't
continue to support it to the extent it should, then why should I ever purchace
another machine from them?  Why wouldn't they abandon that one later too?

You would think that most other companies would defend their products if they
REALLY CARED about them.  Come on Apple, just look at the hole you're digging
yourself into.  You think we'd buy a Mac if you don't support the II? 


     Maybe Apple's marketing just wants us to buy a NeXT...
