No, no... he said something (as in, he posted something) that got him fired. Having been posted, the message went out to the general public, the reason why Apple was so distressed by the whole incident. So the person whom you quoted was merely asking what the information was -- someone has seen it, or Apple would have warned Ramsey instead of firing him. "...neither party have [sic] any intention to." It's a bit late for that, isn't it? Adam (PS: I'm in need of another good tPB quote for my sig file - suggestions?) -- "What?! He didn't fall?

Ramsey did say that he was not the first person from Apple to have publicly discussed "the information", which is why he thought it was OK to mention it on Compuserve. Also, it was "higher-ups" who preceded him. * * ** Scott Robert Anderson gatech!emoryu1!phssra * * * ** phssra@unix.cc.emory.edu phssra@emoryu1.bitnet * * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

I asked Ramsey about it at MacWorld (actually, I told him that whatever he did, I was sure it was no big deal), and he said that he couldn't say until the statute of limitations ran out. But he will then, if anyone still cares.

But he will then, if anyone still cares. Surely the time starts running when he tells you (I'm sure that there is no statute of limitations on non-disclosure agreements ....). Much more likely he will be able to talk about it when it become common knowledge (many non-disclosures have a clause that invalidate them for information that isn't secret anymore) Paul -- Paul Campbell UUCP: ..!mtxinu!taniwha!paul AppleLink: D3213 "Free Market": n.
