Hi,

Curious...

Does this mean that every time a new apple variety is released people should 
yank out what they have and replace
it?  Much like buying a new computer every time people turn around.

I have a computer, but I saved my #2 pencil, paper and stamps. (smile)

I figure people should grow what "works" for them.

Later,
Tom
