|  |     Yeah, we might be able to send Mac sequences and software across
    the Easynet without them taking side trips to AlphaBit Heaven.
    
    And someone might explain the pinouts on a Mac 422 -to- DF03 modem
    cable.

|  |     
    Or we can all start reading the Mac notesfile and not clutter this
    one up with non-issues.

|  |     re .-1.....where did *you* come from?
    
    {dont take offense now, this is mail, which drops alot of context
    bits.....like my (c) DECFACE_HAPPY logo}
    
    exactly what *is* a non-issue? 
    
    Are *you* gonna decide for us? wonderful!
    
    But of course you had your (c) DECFACE_HAPPY on during 
    the reply and mail truncated the extraneous bits, right?
    
    well, dont listen to me....*i* dont own a mac....
    
    since it is however the machine with the most music/comp/midi
    software available at this time....naw.... thats not a good reason
    for us to be interested. Was that your point?

    	Yeah, an' there's gonna be a reciprocal employyyyyeeeeee discount
    arrangement.  Our employees can buy Macs for 25% over transfer cost,
    their employees can buy 8800s for 25% below manufacturing cost.

    re .3
    
    I like nice people like you. ]-|.
    
    Maybe and explanation will get you blood-pressure back down to a normal
    level.  By non-issues I mean,  things like:
    
    - What kind of modem should I get for my Mac ?
    - Should I go with a hard drive or more memory ?
    - How do I format a 400K floppy to work in an 800K drive ?
    - What is an SCSI port ?
    
    meaning things that are related to the Mac and its architecture,  but
    are for the most part in no way related to music.

    I hope you're being facetious (aka, you'd better be blowing smoke or
    I'm going to cry).

    	re (.6 re .4)	Well, the thought had occured to me that there
    MIGHT be the possibility of employee discounts.  I've been looking
    very hard at the Atari ST 1040, but a Mac at the right price could
    be attractive.  Of course I was blowin' smoke, but if we could just
    start the rumor here..... ?  Anyway, you're happy enough with the
    ST, right ?

|  |     I'm happy with the ST ... but not if I can get a Mac at 25% of list
    (aka $1250 for the big boy with a 20 meg hard disk).

|  | 
    DEC employees do, in fact, currently get 22% off list price (Macs
    included) at BusinessLand.
    
    Of course, 25% off *transfer* cost would be significantly lower...
