Re: This STILL ain't a mac-only group, Randy

I've always been annoyed by Mac discussions on an Apple II forum.
It's even worse on Genie where the people that run the forums are all Mac
zealots.  That's why I have not used Genie in some time now.

I was about to ask what people on the Mac feeds would say if a bunch of Apple
II stuff started being posted there.  Then I realized it would probibly go 
unnoticed due to the high valume of traffic.

Not that I agree with Nathan's TACTics but Mac traffic on an Apple II forum
is not needed.  However I do realize most of it is due to pure Mac user 
ignorance.  They think Apple Computer was started in Steve Job's garage when 
he built the Mac or that the Apple II is another line of Mac.

I suspect the only want to make them understand is to make a set of icons 
explaining the growth of Apple Computer.  <grin>
