Not really in line with the subject, but just to set the record straight:

Yep, Avie and Ali do (did ?) a great service.  But not different at all from
Apple: if you check out comp.sys.mac or comp.sys.mac.programmer you'll find it
loaded with helpful postings from Apple folk.  And they ain't bean-counters
either: the MPW product manager is regularly on, as are Apple DTS, and
sometimes folk from the Advanced Tech Group.  And (as they say on TV :->),
much, much more!
