You can't be talking about me. I'm still a little unhappy how my SE/30 won't
run OS 7.6, how my Powerbook and perhaps even my 840 won't run 8.0, how
you have to patch their formatter to get it to format third party drives,
how a bunch of numbskulls man their soon-to-be-defunct SOS-APPL line, how
open transport isn't being continued, how tough it is to get the top back on
an 840 correctly, why GS/OS makes me "eject" my slinky card RAM disk
when the finder first comes up after booting when I have two hard disks
connected, and why even patching the hard disk driver to check only the first
twelve chars of partition names doesn't keep the finder from gagging on
drives with a SCSI manager 4.3 savvy driver partition. But I sure do like 
'em better than the alternative.

I'd be surprised to find the work ProDOS in any Mac FAQ, or any Mac user
without an Apple II who cares about it.
