- If they are, they are probably doing so on their own time. I just got my
- A/UX ISV information packet. Still absolutely no pre-sales support for
- potential A/UX users. Suppose I have a working Sun application - why would
- I choose to port to A/UX before say SGI or DEC. At least these other guys
- are not openly hostile to potential users. Come on Apple, you're not in
- the garage any more, if you want to play with the big boys, start acting
- like it! You can hire some A/UX evangelists and support people to make it
- possible to buy A/UX for rational non-religious reasons! And don't tell us
- about your #*&$* "authorized A/UX resellers"! They've never heard of A/UX
- and if they have they can't spell it. Get real - Hamilton Avnet is an A/UX
- reseller. Give me a break, these guys are basically in business to sell
- chips by the thousands, not single copies of software.
-
- Ok, I'll calm down. Some of Apple people do read this newsgroup and are
- helpful. But sometimes I wonder if they're not risking their jobs by doing
- so.
