If people cannot protect themselves on the web by now they should untie the IP line. I did not want opinions about whether FB is worthwhile or not. Nor do I hope to hear any. I was asking those who may know, if the FB Wall for Low End Mac is official or not, and if it is official why it has such a super weak showing. I appreciate your stance , but that info has little to do with my concern. I do agree with your last comment. These things evolve. For those who have no wish to participate they will not evolve at all. That is not a challenge or a request for further comment along those lines. And threadjackers do so at their own risk. -- Adrian D'Alessio aka; Fluxstringer [email protected] http://www.flickr.com/photos/fluxstreamcommunication/ http://www.facebook.com/FluxStringer http://www.linkedin.com /in/fluxstreamcommunications http://flux-influx.blogspot.com/ http://fluxdreams.designbinder.com/ http://twitter.com/FluxStringer -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
