I beg your pardon... those of us in most of our disgruntled groups do not
wish to don brown shirts and dismember Sculley....

We simply would like to invite him to a barbecue, warm up his feet a
little, and have him (in vain) try to explain why they are killing the
high-end apple // and continuing to support the low-end model....

even tho we know it provided too much competition for the low end macs...

Ya know, its kinda funny, how so many // users are migrating to the
Monkey-Dos world.... all apple had to do, was build a bridge machine
(perhaps the new GS) that would run low end mac stuff.... most users would
upgrade... would be unable to resist the temptation of obtaining mac
stuff... and, having made an investment in mac software, be more likely to
migrate to that machine... instead of monkey-dos...

I often wonder if I would be switching now, if a viable upgrade path, that
didn't destroy my vast software library, were available within Apple's
product line.... as it is, at least my monkey-dos machine is backward
compatible.... and I can still run old favorites, even if I upgrade...
