Try to remember for every whiner out there, there's probably a hundred of us quietly thankful for all you and the rest of the apple Usenetter's have done. I don't blame you for getting a bit hot and bothered, but don't get the impression these bozos speak for everybody on the net. Hopefully, they're the (admittedly vocal) minority thats whining and carrying on just because they can't be the first kid on their block with new toys. The rest of us are quite thankful for the opportunity to benefit from all the hard work and effort that probably went into 7.0, be it May 13, April 13 or June 13.. -Nick (one of the silent [hopefully] majority) >
