     I personally would like to thank Larry for his constructive comment
concerning the Magic Sac and the proper System/Finder to run.  I am sure
that Larry spoke as a member of the net and not as an Apple representative,
but I think that this is the proper order of things.  As I see it, the net
is for an interchange of information, and since an Apple employee probably
knows a great deal about the workings of a Mac, it is appropriate for such a
person to comment.  The Magic Sac can in no way be considered competition to
a Mac, so such comments cause no harm to Apple and can help a number of
normal users.  Besides, if we can stick to comments like Larry's, we
shouldn't have as much of the computer bashing that has so recently
re-erupted.

     Again Larry, thank you.
