As far as Apple's responsiveness goes, I think they are more responsive than many big companies. The operative phrase here is "big companies". Whenever a company gets big, its personal contact suffers. I agree with David, I like Apple's stuff but it is overpriced. I buy their major components (if I can't find a comparable item elsewhere cheaper) but all of the little stuff, I buy elsewhere. If everyone does this Apple will begin to lose money on peripherals and hopefully wake up and fix things. Your best weapon is you wallet. As Lee Iococca says: "If you can find a better product, buy it". If you can't then you have to take what you can get, or start a company and build those better cheaper products yourself, you'll get rich and do us consumers a big favor. Rick Fincher ranger@ecsvax
