Do you know how many times Apple has been 'on to something'? I've worked on
Apple II's, Apple III's, the first Macs, etc. I have used Mac OS6, OS7, etc,
etc. What a pain in the ass if you really want to get anything done. They
are always going to be the minor leagues.

Part of the issue is, they don't understand that the majority of the country
could care less about 7500 songs on some dinky little compubox. I can't
think of more than a couple hundred songs I want to hear more than once.
Apple just doesn't get it.

As far as the van is concerned, you don't have to sell me or anyone else on
the list as to the value of a vanagon. We all know it's strong (and weak)
points. But a Beetle, too much money, too little car.
