   That software was put up *years* ago, and is still there mostly via
inertia. If you're going to report something from Macintosh Inc on
comp.sys.apple2, make it related to the Apple II-- a change in that
software online, or something else directly related to it. That's
directly related to Apple IIs, but about as far from the original
offotpic (and late and wrong-- the www.cnn.com and www.news.com had
the correct # for stock market figures (+3 not +5 for the day) over 24
hours before the resident Apple II hater posted the nonsense) posting.

   Unfortunately, some people seem to not be able to tell the
difference between this and comp.sys.mac.advocacy where random
propaganda for the company should be put.
