Morning, Yes, Ronni we hear and agree! Not sure or read any to the contrary, but I would assume Apple has a contingency plan. As even in the good ol USA not everybody is connected to a T1 and beyond. There is still a lot of the country connected via dial up speeds, as with ours not in City

Hi Daniel, The following is a cut-and-paste from the Mac Rumuours live coverage of the WWDC keynote address which I was silly enough to stay up for. The excerpt is best read from bottom to top to follow the time sequence. I'll have an espresso thanks. :-D Cheers, Carlo 10:38 am

You said it would be released at WWDC Carlo. That's not WWDC. That's announced. I said it would be available August- September... So no espresso for you, So neither of us were correct,. Kind regards Daniel On 7/6/11 1:42 AM, cm cm200...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Daniel, The following

Hi Daniel, I see you are crazy enough to stay up for the keynote as well. What I actually said is that Lion would be announced at the WWDC and released soon after in June or July. A good thing there is a record of this. To quote The Social Network , The Internet's not written in pencil, Mark,

Yes, double crazy, Happy to proven wrong then,..lol I went on the line Going on their past record, if Apple announces Lion at the start of June it will be available around the end of June or not long after. And took it as the June part. I shall give you your $4 for a coffee then next time

No, I can't accept the money -- it was all in fun. If we ever find ourselves at a cafe together, I'll buy you a coffee. As for misstatement, I don't think that is at all harsh. A quick search for some definitions turned up my intended meaning misstate - state something incorrectly, or

Yes Daniel, From what I have so far read … I’m NOT happy. The things I did NOT want to happen, but felt would happen … have happened! ;-( Major upgrades direct only from the App Store is not what I wanted, especially for some of my clients. Some of my country clients have slow Networks

Well I join the queue of fortune tellers who got surprised! Daniel, I think it's perfectly OK to complain about loss of income (although at $31.99 its not much per copy). I think I mentioned previously that while I can understand the business model, it is undermining the Apple resellers and
