It seems that they still don't see the great possibilities of the // line. Especially with the advent of the new 65C816 or 65816 chip which will let the // line do BOTH 8/16 bit by doing double cycles for 16 bit mode(from what I've read).Mr. Scully since his hiring has done really nothing for the // line. Don't tell me about the //C. All that is, is a //e that's portable. Nothing else!! A company as big as Apple has really to my knowledge done anything to help or educate the users after the purchase has been made. Their tech line is ALWAYS busy and when you do get thru they ARE helpful,BUT I always get the same person!!! Is he there alone or what. WOZ'S statement that the // line is ignored is so TRUE. Since Apple's inception it was a tight company. Now that MR. Scully has brought the BIG COMPANY philosiphies Apple has grown up andis very reclusive!!! Try and get some info from them. I can state this as I've been in APPLE land for some 4 years now and have seen this. I'm not saying that getting a Big Company Image is bad, but JEEZ don't FORGET WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!! That is the ultimate SIN...... Probably the happiest day for Apple owners will be when Mr. Scully LEAVES!!! What they need is a PERSON who doesn't forget where APPLE came from and supports there users with the same LOYALTY as WE have SUPPORTED them!!! I KNOW that APPLE is on the ENET (although they don't let you know!) I don't mean for this to be so negative but feel that it should be said. I also feel that APPLE(Mr. Scully) Should get a little of his own MEDICINE!!!! I long for the days when you could call Apple and get or talk to someone. Get the info you need and say THANKYOU. Not like that STUPID 800 # that had everyone saying thanx. I would imagine to see see some replies so below will be my ENET addr. or if you really think I'm crazy and want to yell at me in person, my fone # will alos(oops) be there. Maybe even APPLE will answer although I doubt it! Wow maybe even Mr. Scully will call. later!!!! Joe Craparotta ENET---CRAPAROTTA::NY1MM or for human to human 718-670-3564 8-5est
