hi all, plz dont include me in the flame that's goin on in this list, but i wanna clear up one thing (might be off the topic).. the flickr image that zico sent isn't the real sugar screenshot. it's actually a mockup image created by someone as a joke of how a sugar would look like if apple designed it. some real sugar screenshot are here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar
