Hey, I think we should rag on Apple on our own behalf.  I used to love
by plain vanilia II, but now that I've started to work with a real workstation,
that isn't really that much more than a IIcx or ci, and one hell of a lot
faster, I've realized just how much Apple has been screwing us with price.
I mean hell, $2000 to upgrade from a II, which was supposed to be able to
be upgraded cheaply and easily, to a IIx which isn't that much better.
Or a customer support staff that won't even talk to you, is not indicitive
of a company that gives a damn about whether or not its private
citizen customers are happy!  No, NeXT time I won't buy a Mac.
