The heart may still be beating, but much of the original spirit and ideals of the "company for the rest of us" appears to be on the wane. Do you have any suggestions or ideas that might help reawaken Apple's most exemplary qualities, set appropriate goals and foster a winning strategy for America's most loved computer company?
Final Editor's Note: We can't believe another year has gone by already since we last sent our suggestions to Apple on April 1st (Apple's original birthday) of 1998. Since we wrote the above introduction in early 1997, Steve and Apple have fulfilled many of our suggestions and expectations, and Apple is more successful now than anyone (except us) had predicted. We won't make specific comment on each detail of each suggestion page; suffice it to say that most of the important suggestions have been realized (with a few notable exceptions).
Because things are running smoothly again, this may well be the last
update of this Web site (April 1, 1999), especially if Steve Jobs becomes
Apple's permanent CEO soon, as is rumored, and continues to bring Apple
back to it's original high ideals and profitable status, and hopefully
even on to new unforeseen, insanely great heights. Apple won't need our
gentle prodding anymore, and this page will happily fade into obscurity.
If you would consider working together with other Co-op members, then sign
up for our new Apple Macintosh Co-op. Send name, address, brief
interests and capabilities via e-mail to: Co-op
Webmaster.
To steve, and all of our contributors: Job well done! Keep up the good work.
P.S.: Has it struck you yet that the Internet / Web is a vehicle that
can mold world-wide opinion from the bottom up, outside of the traditional
policies and confines of world governments? - It will...
Thanks steve, for not deserting us in our time of need...
No one else could have done it better than the
Father of Personal Computing.
Power to the people- The rest of us... ALL of us.

Re: Microsoft's (read anti-trust) attempt to control the whole enchilada by forcing vendors to bundle the MSIE browser with the Windows operating system...
