Claris Europe announced yesterday that all Macs bought after 1 July 97
will get a copy of MacOS 8 for just the cost of shipping through another
*European MacOS-Upto-Date program*. The European version of MacOS 8 is
expected to ship in September, but don't expect to get yours until
January or February 1998. I ordered my copy of 7.6.1 via the first
European *MacOS-Upto-Date* back in _February_, but there is still no
sign of it. I called the Apple Assistance many times, but all they said
was "You WILL get it". So don't expect too much from this kind of offer
from Apple or Claris. By the time you get yours it would become totally
out-of-date and worthless. 

I think Apple and Claris should close down their European branches and
distribute their products directly from the states. Having branches in
Europe and elsewhere only slows down the operation and gives Apple a bad
name for failing to meet customer satisfactions.
