Can't argue with that

The good folks over at [link|http://www.macedition.com|MacEdition] have posted what I think is a very well written [link|http://www.macedition.com/letters/letters_20020719.php|letter to the editor] that sums up how a lot of folx that I've talked to feel. I guess we'll see how this all shakes out over the next few months. I'm hoping that they'll either beef up the services to allow a few more of us to justify it or modify the pricing.

Excessive diversity - (tuberculosis) - (75) - July 19, 2002, 09:43:25 AM EDT

Things have changed - (orion) - (74) - July 19, 2002, 09:52:28 AM EDT

Not all of the PC Industry - (orion) - (68) - July 22, 2002, 12:49:08 PM EDT

Yep - I remember that. -NT - (tuberculosis) - July 23, 2002, 05:27:48 PM EDT

Figured you would say that. - (admin) - July 23, 2002, 05:25:41 PM EDT

The PC side - (andread) - (1) - July 22, 2002, 07:07:25 PM EDT

Hey somebody gets it! - (tuberculosis) - July 23, 2002, 04:25:16 PM EDT

What about the light pen interface? - (orion) - (9) - July 23, 2002, 01:39:50 PM EDT

Did your computer come with one? Does the mac? Not ubiq. - (tuberculosis) - (8) - July 23, 2002, 04:22:45 PM EDT

So what? On the PC the mouse is optional. - (orion) - (7) - July 23, 2002, 04:32:10 PM EDT

You're off topic - (tuberculosis) - (6) - July 23, 2002, 05:01:22 PM EDT

You're off your rocker - (orion) - (5) - July 23, 2002, 05:27:22 PM EDT

Don't tease the Mac Fans - (orion) - (2) - July 23, 2002, 04:13:29 PM EDT

You miss the point - (pwhysall) - (1) - July 23, 2002, 04:38:16 PM EDT

Big deal - (orion) - July 23, 2002, 04:49:47 PM EDT

Think Not - (tuberculosis) - (15) - July 23, 2002, 04:48:04 PM EDT

Price, even if you like it or not, always is a big factor. - (orion) - (14) - July 23, 2002, 04:58:46 PM EDT

So low price is a PC "innovation" copied by everybody else? - (tuberculosis) - (13) - July 23, 2002, 05:06:55 PM EDT

The point is innovating to keep the price down, better bang - (orion) - (12) - July 23, 2002, 05:36:03 PM EDT

Maybe - (tuberculosis) - (11) - July 23, 2002, 05:45:24 PM EDT

You apparently don't seem to see a lot of things - (orion) - (10) - July 23, 2002, 06:16:39 PM EDT

Not only that - (orion) - (5) - July 26, 2002, 12:03:18 PM EDT

You still need Office - (tuberculosis) - (4) - July 26, 2002, 03:49:08 PM EDT

But Office isn't part of the OS - (orion) - (3) - July 26, 2002, 06:38:14 PM EDT

Sure it is - (tuberculosis) - (2) - July 27, 2002, 11:18:10 AM EDT

But I already have it! - (snork) - (3) - July 19, 2002, 12:06:17 PM EDT

Good point - (tjsinclair) - (1) - July 19, 2002, 05:17:56 PM EDT
