--> Actually - sorry for the outburst, I usually ignore it as
    I realize the Mac users who don't know of any other `Apple'
    just think it's a Mac II newsgroup (if they even do that).

    Plenty of Mac users do know and do not post here and, for
    that matter, so what if they do - they may have relevant
    thoughts/info to share and that's great - it's just the
    ones that do tend to stumble in here; do so unwittingly
    and though that's not a crime - every once in a while it
    irks me. I should know better and keep my own counsel.

    Nonetheless, my newsreader has a SEARCH function. I don't
    scroll through, looking for a possible `hit'... Oh, waitasec,
    Apple comes B4 Mac - oops. I guess they do the same; but
    look no further!    <sigh>  Oh well...

    Mayhaps we _should_ get this newsgroup renamed, to something
    more descriptive, such as:

    comp.sys.apple2.no.this.is.NOT.a.Mac.newsgroup.keep.looking

    Think it'll work?    :->
