Thank you for the solidarity, theos911. I assume you posted the comment as "Alex" on OWC's blog. I submitted my second post after yours, but it continues to "await moderation." Whether or not OWC will approve my comment will depend on their willingness to either publicly debate me on the subject or proceed in discounting their Legacy edition SSDs on par with the pricing of their SATA editions. But if OWC chooses the path of apathy or fear toward my remarks, then they most likely will simply not approve the comment for display.
I did try my best to exhibit tact and logic in my second post on their blog, explaining that it is rather confusing to the end consumer as to why a 60GB SATA version would cost substantially less ($119) than a 40GB IDE/ATA version ($149) for legacy Macs. And I was honest again about the fact that if they reduce the price enough (I didn't mention exact numbers) that I would be inclined to buy not only one, but two or three. For truly, I have more than one vintage Mac. That holds true for most of us here, despite the fact that out of all of our members here, only you and I have surmounted apathy and taken the few seconds required to post a comment on OWCs "holiday discount" blog.
For those of you who still haven't posted anything on OWC's blog yet, you still have a chance to express solidarity on the issue and bring benefits to others in our vintage Mac community. Post your support of lower "Legacy" SSD prices here:

And remember, if you don't receive, it's because you don't ask! Please ask!
