  Who defends Apple Computer?

  Like this is some AMAZING technology or something. Big deal. It's a printer
driver that sends data to a faxmodem. One is being written for the IIGS.
"Only" $279? I didn't pay that much for my last _hard drive_.  IIGS
development is slowly gaining ground as hobbyists fill the void the
big software publishers left when they became "enlightened".
