Something that bothers me is all the complaining we are doing. Do you think
Microsoft gives their stuff away? No! They charge even for the betas. And
because Apple (Our Choice of Weapon) decides to catch up with other
manufacturers and charge us a measly amount for something they dont have to
make available for us anyways, we cry foul?
I think we all need to take our bran muffins and sing our little songs and
get back on the wagon. You could be in the same boat as our group. We
havent even received our access to the sales web. Do we complain? No. We
continue to support our members the best we can. And we will continue to do
so as long as there is an Apple computer and as long as our members want us
to.
