Inflate the price of their new >product so it would devalue the existing products selling price? I would have Apple recognize that those of who bought early, at list price, were a little freindlier than the Pournelles who waited. I would have Apple give us a break on the price of the upgrade. I agree that I was just incredibly naive to think that Apple was any different than any other money-grubbing corporation. I hope Apple realizes what they've given away when the Japanese drive them out of business. -- Michael Ward, NCAR/SCD UUCP: {hplabs,nbires,brl-bmd,seismo,menlo70,stcvax}!hao!ward ARPA: hplabs!hao!sa!ward@Berkeley BELL: 303-497-1252 USPS: POB 3000, Boulder, CO 80307
