Date: 23 April 1988, 11:25:59 EST From: Jim McCabe MCCABE at MTUS5 To: INFO-ATARI16 at SCORE.STANFORD.EDU Subject: Apple weenies For anyone interested in Apple's suit against Microsoft and Hewlett- Packard, the April 4 edition of INFO WORLD has at least three good essays about those weenies at Apple. There are comments by Steven Jobs, an essay by Jerry Pournell and another article by William F. Zachmann. All these articles are flaming Apple for their foolish and anti-user lawsuits. First DRI, and now Microsoft (for Windows and the forthcoming Presentation Manager OS/2 shell) and HP (for a program called "New Wave" which uses, as Apple describes it, the "Macintosh look-and-feel" (read, "graphic interface"). What a bunch of weenies. Don't get me wrong, I like the Macintosh. I wish the ST was as asthetically attractive as the Mac. However, I hate Apple Computer Corp. with a passion. They overprice their machines up the wazzoo and they sue everyone else when they implement the obvious graphical user interface. Oh well... Some people predict that this is the last era of Apple dominance -- let's hope so. +-----------------------+-----------------------------+ | Jim McCabe | BITNET: mccabe @ mtus5 | | G31 ECH MTU | jemccabe @ mtus5 | | Houghton, MI 49931 | UUCP: mccabe @ m-net | +-----------------------+-----------------------------+
