Maybe I should clarify things a bit. I don't have any complaints against
John Sculley, Apple Computer Inc., etc...I just feel somewhat disappointed
that there are so few companies out there who care. In particular, it is
difficult leaving the Mac world. I've enjoyed it a lot. The Mac is a very
nice computer. So is the GS. But at some point you have to do what you
feel is best for your computing/work needs. I have concluded that a GS at
home and a NeXT at work is best for me. Others no doubt have different
needs. The Mac was nice( as was the GS). I have simply lost faith in the
capability of Apple to respond to the needs of many of their users. What
can I say but that I hope they prove me wrong. I do not wish to be viewed
as complaining or begging or whatever to Apple. They have made certain 
decisions. I happen not to like them. There are other companies out there.
That was one reason why I thought comp.sys.apple2 could be used as a
good vehicule of discussion in helping people move on to another platform.
The AppleII() users form a wonderful group. I would hope that they would
all move on to a platform where they could find peace and where they could
best make use of their obvious abilities.
