|I DISAGREE.   Apple  had  YEARS  to plan   this  announcement and  its

To all the moaners and groaners out there:

   Oh, please.  Give us a break.

   You've already had your money's worth; anything extra will be gravy.

   Anything that you want from ftp.apple.com is available elsewhere(*);
   if you want it for free you have to be prepared for some inconvenience.
