Well, you are simply WRONG, whatever your own personal experience. > You can talk the tech talk, but who cares? So what if you do it for a > living?

That is stupid. 99% of the users out > there are NOT going to do anything but the default setup. How would someone non-technical know if they are in the 99% or the 1%? You are effectively telling me to shut up about warning people that add-on optical drives are not without potential problems. Would you also recommend that MakeMusic not warn Mac users about the Tiger installer problem, just because it's only going to effect some group of users less than 100%? If you'd argue that it's likely to effect 50% or so, then where do you draw the line? That is, where between 1% and 50% should people with the technical knowledge to provide warnings about potential problems simply SHUT UP? -- David W.
