I'd like to add my vote of confidence to the others.  I think you are
doing a terrific job, Phil; don't let the flames of those who are
incapable of understanding that a first release is not the last
release get you down.  Also, the restraint with which you respond to
undeserved (or even deserved) flamage is a credit to you and to Apple.

Of course you can't promise this; it will take considerable effort and
expense to implement it, a "real world" constraint that many of the
flamers neglect (or even refuse) to take into account.  At least you,
as Apple's representative, are listening; more than you can say for
most of the other companies.

Keep up the good work.
