I've been checking out ftp.apple.com from time to time.  It seems they're
starting to get some files on it.  I had two questions:

1) Is there any anticpated date when the site will be "up and running"?  (So I
don't have to check to much :->)

2) When I do "ls" on ftp.apple.com I get the listings offset on each line. 
This site is the only one to do this.  Is there any site-local reason for this? 
This can get mucho problematic when the names start wrapping around from one
side of the screen to the other

This is what I mean:

BRIC-A-BRAC.APPLE.COM>ls mpwc
<Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
mpwc/bawk.sit.hqx
                 mpwc/cflow.sit.hqx
                                   mpwc/gnu-sed.sit.hqx
                                                       mpwc/indent1.1.sit.hqx
                                                                             mp
