I'm in the process of buying an LC and I won't be satisfied with 40 Megs. Apple is trying to convince me that if I want more space, I want a more expandable machine and I want to spend another $1200. Guess what? I don't. I'm curious how much response there would be from possible buyers to: A) Being able to buy it with no internal so you don't waste $ on internal AND external drives. Also, 2 drives is a hassle. B) Being able to buy it with a larger drive ala the SI (40 or 80 meg options). Apple has told me that enough calls to their customer service line asking for either would justify the manufacture of the popular option. So if it seems like a good idea to you (or if you just sympathize!!!), please call them: (800) 776-2333.

Apple is just using this as a ploy to satisfy the AppleII group. I really think the LC will go the same route that Apple took the IIgs. >A) Being able to buy it with no internal so you don't waste $ on internal AND >external drives. Also, 2 drives is a hassle. Two drives are no bigger a hassle than one partitioned drive. the only difference you can see between an external and an internal is one is outside. otherwise they are used the same way. >B) Being able to buy it with a larger drive ala the SI (40 or 80 meg >options). You have this option just not from apple. Apple has always tended to use mid standard drives anyways. >Apple has told me that enough calls to their customer service line asking for >either would justify the manufacture of the popular option. So if it seems >like a good idea to you (or if you just sympathize!!!), Go for it. I hav not seen Apple bend to costomers wishes before, and if they do it will be only for their gain. I'd love to see the consumer win just once with this company. Good product, just SH***Y management. Only my opinion. ---- ---- ---- ---- ProLine: larmo@pro-odyssey AOL: ODYSSEY 1 Internet: larmo@pro-odyssey.cts.com Pro-Odyssey: 707/437-4734 ARPA: crash!pro-odyssey!larmo@nosc.mil UUCP: crash!pro-odyssey!larmo
