Excuse me? Is this the same Apple which sold Macs for four years which don't have any slots for upgrade? The ones you can convert to color by buying a whole new machine? 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? 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? Apple has a firm committment to PROFIT, and makes IBM look positively benevolent by comparison. Maybe Apple is an IBM public relations operation. -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) "The world is filled with fools.
