Gesus, Mac software can't possible cause that much brain damage, alone, without mushrooms (well, and pot), can it? Regards, JS |

Apple maintained a following and indeed an increasing market base even after PC's got so cheap that most anyone could afford one. If someone likes a product enough to pay what seems to be an exhorbitant price for it, even in the face of a much cheaper alternative, then that is what they call "market forces" in operation. The consumer, in this case, has actually set the price by buying the product. If nobody were buying it, it would either become cheaper or taken off the market. |

Regards, JS FYI I owe my life to an old Apple ][+ because I learned machine language programming on one of those and then through a series of events ended up being a full time programmer for IBM personal computers that got to travel all over the place like from Boston, MA to Orlando, FL via New York City were I went to the top of the South Tower. And I went to places like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Catalina Island, Amarillo, TX even up to Vancouver Canada and a lot of other places in the mid states. Two of the things I did on the Apple ][e computers while I was still in school were to rewrite the OS so it could load the first two programs on a disk without loading the entire OS depending on what number I pressed while booting and I changed my OS so I no longer had to spell out the entire word CATALOG. All I had to do was spell cat or catwhatever (meaning as long at the word "cat" was spelled in upper or lower case it didn't matter what letters were behind it). Yep, I owe my life to Steve Jobs even though I never bought an iPhone, iPad or iPod but I might buy an iPhone if Sprint will let me keep my current plan with unlimited phone as modem. Rocky |
