There is a fairly large contingent of people here at Apple that are regular
readers of the various newsgroups, especially those concerned with Apple
products.  We try to answer, when appropriate, *technical* questions about
*officially announced* Apple products.  Larry Rosenstein has been one of the
more notable examples of providing accurate technical information.

As a rule, we WILL NOT acknowledge, confirm, deny, or otherwise comment
on any unannounced Apple products, rumored or otherwise.  So don't expect
any postings EVEN COMMENTING on any rumors that are floating around the net.

We do listen to feedback concerning our products, and will answer questions
when we have the time (and know the answer!).  However, all of us that
regularly listen in on USENET do have other jobs - we aren't dedicated
technical support people who do nothing except answer questions concerning
our products.  The Apple Technical Support Group does this on the telephone
full time; it's their job.  (BTW, we here don't always know the exact answer
to a lot of the questions that float by; some take a fair amount of research
to track down - which we don't usually have the time to do).  But we do care.

As a side note, our VAX/UNIX news software was 'broken' for a long period
of time in that postings to the net would seem to go out, but really didn't.
This was one major reason why we were apparently so quiet for a while.
Our CSNET connection is also again working (after a machine swap).

I hope this (not so) little explanation confirms that we here at Apple do
care what you people think about our products.  Keep those cards and letters
comin' in!
