Its amazing how typical it is to react to rejection this way... The girl everyone wants says "no" and all of a sudden she is called "ugly, fat and stupid". Yogi Berra (spelling?) quote: "Nobody eats there anymore, its too crowded". I don't agree with a lot of apple's decisions, but the real travesty is that no other companies seem to be able to offer any products even remotely as compelling. I don't see abstinence as a choice. People go on hunger strikes as a reaction to the lack of choice. How long ago did hypercard come out? Thirty five years ago? And nothing of merit since? What kind of user-empowering tech would it take to do for people now what hypercard did for people then?

Rubbishing Apple won't help one bit; it is what it is; one can either choose to live with the thing, or not. The fact that RunRev (et al) has felt that Jobs' ruling is a kick in the pants is an opinion; until Steve Jobs pops over and physically kicks the RunRev people it it a feeling; however unpleasant it may feel. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many years ago I was working on a farm (mucking out beeves); and turned up every day at 5 am to get on with my work. One day the farmer told me he didn't want me to work for him any more. I asked him why; and he said that he didn't feel a need to tell me. So I went home, feeling dejected, unloved, and so on. The next day I walked about 30 miles round lots of other farms, and by sundown had got a new job; felt wanted and loved. 2 weeks later the farmer who dismissed me went bust. Poor chap; he is now a raving alcoholic who props up the local bar. So; until every farmer tells me he doesn't want my labour I will keep on smiling. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
