- Uh, excuse me for asking but:
-
- Why upgrade to 7.1 if we have to PAY for all the goodies that make it
- nice? Its like saying: "OK, take a day, install 7.1 on all your
- machines and it'll still be the same ole system 7, nothing more...Oh,
- you want to know why to Upgrade? Buy the toys that make the system
- really 7.1.

- Apple:
- I heard you are integrating ATM into 7.1, i like that. Making TrueType
- not so much of a bear that we can work with it, like that too. Reducing
- the memory requirement, ok. Faster, like that too should have been that
- way anyway. Adding more stuff so we will love our macs even more, now
- that i love! Make us pay an arm and a leg for the goodies?
-
- I thought the reason my mac cost more than a PC was that the company was
- a bunch of nice guys that wanted to take the pain out of computing, no
- matter how technical your work is. I can understand charging people for
- discs and manuals, but if people can understand it, let em at it. Thats
- another reason why people love their Macs.
