What press time? What press?

....my house in Alaska.

Don't be silly. English has many expressions that no longer literally relate to their origins.

What term would you prefer - "our self-imposed deadline for publishing this article"?

The more inane remarks like yours that I read, the more I think all comments should be vetted by site operators before being imposed on the rest of us. That would also save people like me from further adversely affecting the signal to noise ratio!

Apple had a VP of Enterprise Sales? No kidding? What did he do all day?


As an aside, I wish these sites would stop with the stupid images that you have to enter into a box. They're making life more difficult for readers (it's often nearly impossible to read the characters) and I can't see any real benefit. Is there really a problem with bots going around and posting messages on their boards?

Yes, there is.

If you detect the sound of a press you 'hear' it not 'here' it. You would think that mocking a straw woman erected by a comedian wouldn't amuse anymore.

Shipp: Er, Steve, about that VGA port...

Shipp: Aaaaaagh!

How about "Apple has not responded to our requests at this time."

Yes, I can see that you are taking your self-imposed "Lord of the Forums" position very seriously. I thank you for your commitment. Fell free to stop at any time.

As an Apple Reseller who has sold and supported Apple products since 1992, we really did not appreciate the work of the Apple Enterprise Group. Ostensively, they were created to help drive Apple sales into the Enterprise - places where Apple had not been selling. However, they realized that selling cycles for the Enterprise is much longer than the expectations that had been placed on them. So, the Apple Enterprise Group started going after non-Enterprise business, even small 5 user businesses. They contacted these customers directly and offered to undercut the pricing they had been getting. Their pricing had no floor and not only did it cut our profit but would go below our cost - we can't compete with that pricing. Ironically, I talked to people at the Apple Enterprise Group and they had this funny notion that them selling the equipment instead of a reseller would help the reseller.

Now, customers who buy the computers would probably be in favor of this. But I offer this simple question for thought: do you rely on local service and support of your Apple products? If so, then support your local service and support by buying from them. Servicing Macs alone is not enough revenue to stay in business.

I know this VP was hired to create this group and I hope this means that Apple realizes that hurting the local businesses who have supported them for years is not a good business plan.
