(Hi davros...)  Our company recently bought a Mac because our US customers
insist on having our software running on it.  (Personally I've been avoiding
it as long as possible because I agree with the FSF's boycott of Apple)

I have to admit I was impressed by Apple's marketing - within a couple
of weeks of buying MPW C we got a new CD in the post with an upgrade.  No
extra charge (I refrain from saying 'free' - I'm not that naive).

I had a good chuckle though when three days later a floppy arrived saying
under no circumstances to use the CD since it was dangerously buggy, and
to use the one on the floppy instead :-)   I bet *someone* at Apple isn't
getting a Christmas bonus this year *chuckle*.
