Well, hmm... lemme see now...  Mike's an Apple Students Rep, and
Apple's in bed with DEC, and Mike sends a message kinda criticising a
DEC machine, and someone (apparently above Mike) at the school starts
spewing how DEC is really great, and then Mike sends a further message
saying how he really loves DEC and how it's really not DEC's fault.

Sure Mike, I understand;  Lessee, you've got lotsa accounts to
consider here... and being an Apple Student Rep must be nice...
AppleLink and all...

Personally I'm kinda insulted by the fuss.  I figure the machine
probably is subject to the usual DEC Field Circus (overpriced, "I have
to go get a part") syndrome, and you're just getting pissed on because
of your position as Apple Rep.  And what with Apple's gestapo-like
tactics to keep everybody smiling and fire Ramseys and claim to be the
computer for the rest of us and then build 3000-4000-5000+ dollar
machines while I can hardly keep up my Mac Pluses in enough memory to
run Multifinder...

Well, sounds like maybe you're doing this under some pressure.

So, how about sending another message saying that you really just Love
DEC and Apple, and you were in a drug induced haze when you said those
nasty things about Apple's good pal DEC.  And how Ball State really
does need the Student Discount Program, and how you can't believe I
wrote this...

Ain't the First Ammendment a great idea?
[Just one person's opinion, dontcha know...]
