c-man = contradiction man? The debate over the Black Listed VARS will best be debated in retrospect tomorrow, when Apple customers again will cast their vote. I agree, some of the VARS on the Black List did cast a positive light on AAPL product, but I applaud Apple's decision demanding improved quality and raising their standard? You go on to raise the issue of ethics and credibility as it relates to Apple and VARS; Quote "I have focused on these two issues my entire existence...and I attribute my success mostly to handling these two issues consistently and fairly. Certainly not to taking advantage of Apple's ineptness and weaknesses in their traditional sales model as much as some other resellers without ethics and concern for their customer base." So, what am I missing here? What's wrong with Apple's Black List? Then, you contradict yourself and write about Apple having "successfully been buffered for years by the groups they are shedding...we'll see how they handle future interactions with the public" sounds kinda silly, self serving and again -- a contradiction. Apple is ultimately responsible for the manufacture, sales and service of their product -- not the VARS! If Apple was not selective and demanding of VARS in the past, shame on Apple. Apple has again seized control of their game with insanely great products and a demand for quality in all aspects of their business, and if you want to play, it will be by their rules...Got my vote! Cheers, Dennis _____________________ Other Related Quotes : <is it too difficult to believe that *possibly* the VARs and resellers helped to keep the company afloat all these years more than you'll ever know or give credit for ?> <I challenge you to support your point that resellers of yesteryear adversely contributed to the condition of Apple corporate during that period and put Apple in its threatened state today.>
