Yeah, 'cause I paid that much for an update to a browser. Sheesh. Come on, guys. Cheap shots. I got a lot more for my money, and /no one forced that decision on me./ I'll come back to this. Yes, I'm a Camino user. But enough with the "you have to pay SOOO much to Apple for x" stuff. Name ONE of the big (downloadable from apple.com) iApps that was released with a reference release and then not updated until the next reference release. iTunes? Nope. They updated that. iChat? Nope. That got updated. iMovie? Nope. Updated. iPhoto? Nope. Updated. iSync? Nope. They updated that at least once in the 10.2 cycle. Safari? They updated that, and Panther was /just/ released. Wait and see what happens in the next x months before making the "no updates until the next $130" conclusion. No offense to anyone here, but if it takes four months before you see an update, that's STILL faster than Camino. Nightlies don't count, 'cause most end-users are weary of possibly unstable beta/development releases, and will just use what's posted as "current". Yes, dissonance is good. If everybody were back-patting each other, the list would be useless. Totally agree. Back to forcing the $130 thing on me. You aren't being charged $130 for minor point releases. You know that, of course. .x releases for OS X are heavy releases, not just bug fixes (though they do a lot of that, too). But what you're missing is that while Safari might be updated to the point of not working in 10.2 after x months, I'm pretty sure Apple realizes that /this is why we have third-party developers./ To fill these gaps. Whether it's intentional or not, this kind of stuff spurs and provides encouragement for third-party applications. Ten bucks says that SOMEWHERE in Apple, someone knows this. And even if not, it's a perfect opportunity to capitalize on a gap in the UNFALLABLE Apple. (Emphasis for sarcastic effect. It's a company, not a deity.) No one forces you to buy the next huge OS X release, so stop whining about it. Don't like it? Not worth it? Don't. Freaking. Buy it. I got a whole lot more than a browser and some bug fixes when I installed Panther. It's worth it to some, not worth it to some. At least you don't have to wait five years between significant OS releases (cough, Windows, cough). /counter-editorial -/- Mikey-San "Anytime four New Yorkers get into a cab together without arguing, a bank robbery has just taken place." - Johnny Carson _______________________________________________ Camino mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/camino
