- I don't think you should have said that. The survey should be kept in
- confidence & and there really are only 2-4 Apple employees who visit
- us on the net. Granted, you may have received the results by Apple
- lurkers or maybe Unknown (who now has an Apple address it seems), but
- I'm sure we'll be seeing posts about a month from now with people saying
- Xxxx at Apple says that the Mac will be treated the same as the Apple.
- Of course, you also noted that one Apple employee stated that the Apple II
- is being treated fairly by Apple Inc. so if the same person replied with
- a 9 for the "doing to the Mac" question, then they feel that the Mac
- _will_ be supported to a high degree. You can't apply one person's answer
- to the average of the results, you must look at his/her sheet alone to
- gain individual insight.

- Well, they do get a pretty high rating for consumer 'happiness'. 85 I
- think. Whatever it was, they were tied with IBM and someone else. Only
- one other company had a higher one by 2 points (gee, I can't remember
- who that is ;) ).
