Sounds like you did *NOT* pay the "regular" price. A good reason to be satisfied. Those of us who did pay list price, thinking that the machine would hold its value for a year or so, are feeling very foolish, indeed. >I am just a satisfied Macintosh owner who has a LOT (<- Heavy emphasis) of >fun with his Macintosh! I had fun with my Mac for a month or so, too. Then I tried to do some work with it. Then I found out that I had *NOT* known what I bought. I found out that all of Apple's promised were lies. No decent software. No development tools. Nothing but frustration. If you're doing anything other than playing silly games with your Mac, please let us know what. And how. -- 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
