Someone starts about a ludicrous rumor about unreleased software. The alleged change makes no sense, and does not appear in any pre-release versions of said software. An Apple spokesman (Larry Rosenstein, are you listening?) denies said rumor, and attempts to explain how it might have originated. Two weeks later, people are still abusing Apple for something they haven't done and never intended to do! C'mon folks, let's shed a little more light and a little less heat on the subject. -- Ephraim Vishniac [apollo, bbncca, cadmus, decvax, harvard, linus, masscomp]!wanginst!vishniac vishniac%Wang-Inst@Csnet-Relay
