It was an irrelevant error, Beth. Is anyone here naive enough to believe that Ozone Al would _not_ have accepted credit for the creation of the Internet if anyone had actually believed the supposed claim? I hope not. Mac users are supposed to be way smarter than that.
If Global Warming Al has any real input on the board - any real effect in determining the future of Apple - then I'm worried about the future of the company for the first time. However, if the company is just holding him up for public viewing to demonstrate that "Yes, even World Government Al can use a Mac!" then perhaps it's good marketing.
