Why can't Apple simply post the system on apple.com (if that's gonna happen, fine, no nasty flames please, just e-mail)? Second, why not make a simple HC stack to explain all new features (same disclaimer applies)? I hate dealing with dealers. They know nothing and profess to know everything. I'm sure I'll get it either way, and I doubt I'm going to have that many problems figuring out the new features, as the "net" will be buzzing with messages about these features after the release. Anyways, if my suggestions aren't going to happen here's some things to think about: 1) People who need the manuals will buy them. 2) The wider the distribution of 7.0, the faster bugs will be corrected. 3) Dealers suck. 4) Anybody who is hip(square) enough to follow a bbs on rn is going to be clever enough to get what they need anyways, so why not make it easier. * Brian * P.S. That April 1 posting on mac.digest wasn't funny -- it was * downright cruel. AAAUUUUGHHHH!!!!!
