This is very cool, thanks Apple for allowing 7.0 to be FTP'd from an
Internet machine.  I would like to suggest that some of the large FTP
sites like SUMEX and ORST.CS, WUSTLE and others FTP the 7.0 stuff to
THEIR  machines as well so that there can be many points of
distribution.  I suspect there will be so many people clamoring for
FTP/7.0 that no one will have reliable access to it.

So look, unless it screws up Apple's licencing agreements and other
lagalities what do you say we let the big archive sites have 7.0 first
huh?
