I do not argue any of your points in theory as being bad for Apple or not moving the platform forward. The only two points I was trying to make sure were not overlooked are:
1. Since you've changed everything else, removing HFS+ makes it only have one entirely superficial relationship with my precious 128k, which is the Apple logo. That's great if you're trying to make a profit, but it's awful for the few of us who actually view the 128k as a Mac which, along with the Lisa (by the way, they acronym'ed it "Local Integrated Software Architecture" which is a really unjust acronym to the specialness of the computer (I am digressing here, but sometimes you like to throw trivia in there) is almost a paragon of good compared to the modern Intel rubbish that makes huge profits for Apple but yet out of those huge profits they refuse to support the Macs which allowed them to get to this point, like the 128k, the Lisa, the SE/30, the Portable, the Color Classic, the Macintosh TV, etc.
I mean, it shouldn't only be NeXT machines Apple makes the Apple Geniuses pay attention to. The 128k, without the derogatory 128k badging, of which I am proud to be an owner, was Steve Jobs's baby too. If he is going to pamper his NeXT hardware that came later, and never had a Superbowl ad done on it (according to anything I ever read) Steve should definitely pamper an original Model M0001 128k, not some 128k/512k combo 128k granted with a M0001P serial number, because that's his creation too. Yet Apple does not.
Point number two (that I apologize so sincerely for disagreeing with, I wish I didn't, but I get excited by things like this), is that it's a forum in a website dedicated to the Macs time forgot, in a sub-forum devoted to the oldest of those Macs, and yet you are endorsing (for some reason I only wish I could understand) an Apple that has a philosophy completely contrary to the one I grew up with, and much more than that encouraging them to go further down this road that makes them so much NOT the company I fell in love with as a kid. It makes me think all the more my Intel Macs aren't really Macs, just some freak of nature that just happens to have an Apple logo on it.
I truly do apologize sincerely for my feelings on these issues, as they are admittedly intense, and if you want to send me a PM I can give any of you my address so you can come to my house and I can apologize in person if my utterly sincere feelings have offended you. If that extreme is not necessary, just understand that I apply Star Wars (which was supposedly actually a morality lesson) to life and so I can grade my computers based on worthiness, along with the Apple who made them (whether it's pre-Steve Jobs Exile Apple, post-Steve Jobs exile Apple, or varying degrees of Post-Steve Jobs Return Apple.
Star Wars has an interesting moral lesson in it, at least the 6 full on movies do. Try Googling "George Lucas Star Wars Moral Lesson" and it should pop up some version of those remarks.
Again, I am willing to apologize in person if you need it and I hope you all are blessed much and have a great day!
as you know I've been trying to format that 10GB Seagate with various tools and now by chance I find Hard DiskTools 2.0.5 by FWB Software lurking on an old drive and as if by magic... it formats the drive!! It does the 2GB limit, so it formats the drive automatically into 8 x 2GB and whatever is left is the 5th partition, neat.
