Reread that, it's important ^^^

Perhaps I should rephrase that to read: I'm only human, and I've done the best
job that I could -- the point that I'm trying to make is that there are
limits to what I can do.  If that's not good enough for some people, I'm truly
sorry, but I can't do any better.

>Cmon Andy, are'nt you under some sort of a non-disclosure aggrement?

Yes I am.  Does signing a non-disclosure statement mean that I am automatically
condemned to "Ivory Tower" status because I can keep a secret?

The point I was trying to make was that just because you don't see me
contributing doesn't mean that I'm not contributing.  We can all contribute in
our own way -- I'm trying my own way by working at Apple, and trying my best.
