Even Apple is getting it wrong.
OS X DELIVERS TREATS AND TRICKS TODAY'S TOP STORY Apple's Mac OS X is experiencing a spate of trials as a potential refund, data-loss concerns, and security questions cast a shadow on the operating system. A judge gave preliminary support to a settlement that would allow some owners of the OS to receive a refund, and a problem with the new version of the OS can cause the loss of data stored on external hard drives. http://ct.com.com/click?q=18-WhrzI98bpXkkwDmabwDVCLjCCIGn -----Original Message----- From: John Wilson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 3:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] What do you suppose this is about?

Whether it's deserved or not is another thing. Hell of a way to announce it though. The only thing I can think of is that there is more to this than just a patched kernel which has already been released. Gael's post hints as much. And that's either a good thing or a bad thing depending on what else is holding it up. My sincerest hope is that the surprise that's hinted at is a good one and will make a nice Christmas or New Years gift. Sadly, posts like that feed the rumour mill of the ignorant, the author of that article springs to mind, and result in very little but bad publicity. In fact the hold up itself will hence my probable need to migrate a system or two I support from MDK to something else if it gets too bad. These people are serious, nervous newbies who are betting their small businesses on Linux in general and MDK in particular. Personally, I'll stick with it. Professionally may be something I have little or no control over. Oh, and I'll bet that competing distros and the Evil Empire will be making hay on this one, too. ttfn John -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Business Computer Projects - Disclaimer -+-+-+-+-+-+-+- This message, and any associated attachment is confidential.
