I don't think you should have said that.  The survey should be kept in
confidence & and there really are only 2-4 Apple employees who visit
us on the net.  Granted, you may have received the results by Apple
lurkers or maybe Unknown (who now has an Apple address it seems), but
I'm sure we'll be seeing posts about a month from now with people saying
Xxxx at Apple says that the Mac will be treated the same as the Apple.
Of course, you also noted that one Apple employee stated that the Apple II
is being treated fairly by Apple Inc. so if the same person replied with
a 9 for the "doing to the Mac" question, then they feel that the Mac
_will_ be supported to a high degree.  You can't apply one person's answer
to the average of the results, you must look at his/her sheet alone to
gain individual insight.

Well, they do get a pretty high rating for consumer 'happiness'.  85 I
think.  Whatever it was, they were tied with IBM and someone else.  Only
one other company had a higher one by 2 points (gee, I can't remember
who that is ;) ).
