Ya, and look at what you got!

  System 7.0 is finished and was announced on May
13th.  Will being without System 7.0 for another week going to kill you?  are
you going to loose business or money because you didn't get System 7.0 the day
it was announced?  Apple did an excellent job with this upgrade and I cannot
imagine the number programmers that spent all night every night before the dead
line working on this upgrade.  Instead of whining about how you didn't receive
System 7.0 on May 13th at 12:01 am you should be applauding the people who did
the job and did it well.
