I'm certainly not suggested that Apple owes us anything. I'm wondering
why one MUG gets sent 5 boxes of "stuff" while another is told they
can't have anything.
You'll get no argument from me on this point. Apple has always been a
great study for how NOT to run a business.
Apple is a rich, successful computer company today NOT because of MUGs
but because it makes a superior product. It seems to me that that is
all that they are required to keep doing. Anything else is icing
(excuse the pun).
Actually their success hinges a lot on the ardent users who make up and
run the MUGs. Saying that there's no crossover between faithful user
and MUG user is simply ignoring the truth.
Apple has ardent users because they produce a superior product. My
contention is that there is nothing Apple can do. To PC users who think
Mac users are wackos, no merchandising is going to be of value. And
even though they send tutorials on their Ambassador disks, it still
doesn't replace face-to-face give and take.
If you could suggest one thing for them to send you that would help you
out, what would it be?
