        Is this the Apple who will only sell you a UNIX version on a hard
      disk which is too small to *run* UNIX beyond the "Hello, world!" stage?

...weird, I am using one of those Apple UNIX versions on a hard disk just
now when I am typing this entry on USENET. It must be a bizarre dream I 
have....
      
        Apple has a number of useful features, but they have resisted making
      their machines expandable as long as they could. Was this to prevent
      third parties from offering better and less costly options? Can you
      doubt it?

...I really think I am dreaming, that Ethernet card I have in my Mac
is just an illusion, as the serial port card... A bus is a bus, what
would you need to expand really?
      
        Apple has a firm committment to PROFIT, and makes IBM look positively
      benevolent by comparison. Maybe Apple is an IBM public relations
      operation.
      
I don't know of any computer companies on this Earth that does not want
to make profit in the long run.  At least we at Apple try to change the
view of computers as complicated tools that require specialists in order
to work.  If we make profit with this view, it will gain all the
computer users in the long run (because IBM and others have to look at
user friendliness as well, as they have done...).
