Some parts of Apple are run very well. Other parts have been terrible for a long time. What Apple seems to have forgotten is that at one time or another, every part of Apple is going to be needed to provide a critical service. They failed to kick out these slackers and now their failure is apparent to all. Apple's OS X team has been terrible for years. Their server management team has been terrible from the beginning. Amazingly bad. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
