I read with great amusement all those reactions to the "April Fools" post
about system 7.0 being available.
I do not know if it is available via ftp or not, I haven't looked. I don't
need to, since I just downloaded 7.0FC1 (7.0 Final, candidate one) from
AppleLink.
April fools or not, it's later than B6, and it is available NOW. Yes, it
surprised me too. (I think it's unprecedented.) They must be getting close.
BTW, I'll be SHOCKED if C1 is the last candidate. You never know, though.
I'm running it now, and it feels good. (yow!)

I think the point is that most of us don't have developer accounts. -- /============================================================================\ | Francis Stracke | My opinions are my own.

I would have to agree with the sentiment expressed in this note. Many of us are 'developers' of sorts, but for some reason or another are not registered developers (for me, it's mainly the money I've heard that it costs. For a poor student like me, it's simply unaffordable). I'm not going to say that it's 'unfair' that we can't try Sys7 or that we're 'entitled' to be able to try it--we're not. I'm just saying that it can be durned annoying at times to listen to everybody talking about it when I'm unable to get a copy!!! Ach, well. What else is new? Peace, Doug.
