- Heck no. Thanks for posting this over here -- it removes any doubts in my
- mind as to what Ernie Moore is up to. I feel sorry for the poor guy, he needs
- a good shot of reality more than his perceived enemies.

- Apple _does_ need to act to provide a solid, dependable support mechanism for
- everyone who owns their "orphaned" machines (this includes old macs too!) --
- this is a good business decision for them because present owners of Apple
- machines will be far more inclined to stay with Apple when they finally _do_
- upgrade. But we have to give them a chance to grind the corporate gears and
- try a plan or two before drastic and illegal action like Ernie's is anywhere
- near warranted!
