It's always out of season in these parts. Just because we're not too crazy 
what we think are Apple's policies toward the Apple II (has Apple really 
come to any decision? I really don't think that they know what to do with
it yet) we don't have the right to 'flame' the people who are obviously 
dedicated to the machine.

I used to work for one of the libraries at Columbia University (I just left 
that position so my UNIX account will soon be deleted) and have been on the
other side of this. People used to take it out on me whenever they thought
something was wrong with the library. Sometimes I felt like saying "You 
can't find a book...no, no one elsce could possibly be using it! We've 
hidden all the books we thought you might be interested in!" since that was
very often what we were accused of.
