Matt,

Nice to see your familiar posts back on this newsgroup.  First off, a 
clarification:

My comments (originally) were directed towards those departments in charge of 
non-marketing the apple II line.  You people from DTS, engineering or what have
you who do not make decisions on marketing the apple II are not affected.  In 
fact, I have said time and time again that I (and others, I'm sure) appreciate 
what you are doing with your work, as well as your voluntary time on-line.  
Your technical expertise is unquestioned, and your help with technical matters 
is appreciated.  Even if DTS *WAS* part of the worldwide product marketing 
group, I don't think you guys were in charge of marketing either.  It is not 
impossible for one part of a department to be incompetent (so, far that is my 
impression of Jane Lee, Rousso and others in that branch), while another part 
thrives on excellence.

Anyway, Matt, I am, glad to see you and your particular sense of humor back on 
this group.  I hope your stay will not be a single occurence and that we will 
be able to see and read more of you in the future...

Harry
