-
- Sub: RE[2] MacApp.Tech$ Cost Comp.
-
- Bill,
-
- Thanks for your MacApp.Tech$ cost comparison between the old and the new ALink
- cost structure. As a primarily Non-Prime Time user, this is bad news.
-
- I am afraid these additional cost will eventually force me to be much more
- prudent about downloading MacApp.Tech$ discussions and hence uploading my
- comments to these discussions. I will probably download the weekly compressed
- archives but the weekly frequency of the archives eliminates any real
- participation in discussions. If alot of MacApp.Tech$ contributors also start
- downloading the weekly archives instead of directly from their in-boxes, there
- will most likely be a sharp decrease in the breadth and quality of the
- MacApp.Tech$ discussions. All of this seems contrary to the purpose and
- benefits of MacApp.Tech$. (now we really know why the “$” in MacApp.Tech$)
-
- I want to thank Keith Rollins for speaking out from Apple’s side about value of
- MacApp.Tech$ discussions. He and others from Apple including Steve Friedrich,
- Dave Wilson (sort of from Apple), Lonnie Millett, Larry Rosenstein, Chris
- Knepper to name a few have been fantastic in contributing to discussions and
- answering questions.
-
- The two way open conversation that MacApp.Tech$ provides should be encouraged
- rather than discouraged. Especially as we move toward System 7 and MacApp 2.1
- which Jesse Feiler’s memo pointed out! Both Apple and of course MacApp users
- like me benefit greatly from the timely open exchange of ideas, opinions,
- questions and answers. I truly hope there can be some kind of solution that
- AppleLink Management can agree with to keep this channel from being even more
- expensive and therefore less used.
-
- Hoping against hope,
