Hi don't take this too seriously but,

here's a deep question for Apple's "Emotional Engineers" :-)

Why on heaven and earth does there always have to be a blasted OK button in
every error dialog. What precisly is so very much "OK" about: "Your hard-disk
is full (OK), or "This disk is damaged; consequently, unusable (OK)," both of
which are quite definatly not OK! Unless this "OK" is some defused version of
the original word, meaning acknowledged or something like that. Wouldn't it
be better to (a) include a button with some very "heavy" swearing,
or (b) include two buttons one which says "OK" and another which says "NOT OK"
both of which accomplish the same thing (just to make a point :-)).

Or is everybody so absolutly positive in AppleLand ?-)

P.S.: By the way what's the ip number of apple.com?
