>Let's admit to ourselves that there is a problem here which requires >serious thought and both vision and fast action to correct. yes, we are both Mac diehards, but I absolutely disagree that there is a real problem; Apple has been fighting a PERCEIVED problem for years. When Jobs returned he said quit thinking of it as a problem and get back to making "insanely great" stuff. They did; Apple is extremely successful and reporters still keep trying to undermine Apple. It ain't real... Apple is fine. We can agree to disagree, but as a Mac user for over 15 years, I have just observed the media hacks twisting numbers and predicting woes for too long; I also lived through the REAL Apple crisis in the mid-90s. As a diehard Mac user, it has been many years since I have seen the hardware and software options that are available to Mac users today; and as long as hardware and software vendors continue to support Apple in growing numbers (and they are), then Apple will continue to thrive no matter what the market share weanies predict. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mike Bigley Maineville, Ohio http://www.norbertrunning.com Please support an American Indian Elder & Medicine Man by visiting the above link. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
