- : >revise our System Software? No one.
- :
- : Procyon, an Apple II software company with extensive operating
- : system experience, is in great shape to do just that, as long as you're
- : willing to pay for it.
-
- Is Procyon going to get the rights from Apple?
- : >The Apple IIgs will be dead by 1993, we
-
- : last month. So tell me, what the heck is the difference in this
- : 'support' you seek, between 7 machines in a month and zero?
-
- 7 machines, better than zero!
- : >At Apple,
- : >we've reached the point of no return.
- :
- : "At Apple, we've"? I didn't know you worked at Apple!?

- : What support would you like? I know Matt and others in DevSupport
- : give me great developer support. Do you want Apple to port every
- : single Macintosh application to the IIgs? What would be the point?
- :
-
- 'twould be nice.. <grin>.. but what support would I like? I'd love to see
- commercials, I'd love to see new peripherals, new Operating systems, a
- new CPU for every 5 macs, some recognition.. (I know I'll be flamed for this..)
