<SIGH> How many of Oracle's software offerings are free from their websites, including several free and supremely useable (on Legacy Macs) Operating Systems (does oracle even DO OSes?) ? What other Computer/Software manufacturing company offers dozens and dozens of patches, upgrades, drivers and help files in a LIST format for easy viewing and picking, versus rowing through many, many pages on, say, a Compaq / HP site for drivers and patches? And Microsoft? They've made dozens of Operating Systems over the years. How many DO THEY HAVE on their website for free [EMAIL PROTECTED] Been to eBay lately? You'll pay $25 for DOS 6.22. More for most Windows OSes. O.S. 7.5.3 is FREE!!! The System 6es they have listed are FREE. I gotta say, this "abandonment" complaint riles me. Apple has the BEST support-base in the Industry. Easiest to find and download, and widest support for all manner of Old Computers of A-N-Y-B-O-D-Y currently selling computers or softwares for them. And the email lists? Macs have far and away more of any except Linux. Easy access to systems and their add-ons, more help than anywhere except Linux? I can't help but hope you rethink your feelings about Apple.
