- Well - tell that to the few thousand employees here who have been
- experiencing the problem. I suppose Apple themselves are wrong in
- admitting that there is a problem with these two machines - after
- all - YOU have cleared the mac yourself. It has nothing to do with
- OpenTransport.

- Ever notice how the MacOS patches something in excess of 87% of the
- ROM? Each and every "extension" is a patch to the system. This has
- been true since the first days of the Mac. Apple just cannot get it
- right. There's still the amazing two-hours-in-a-drunken-state file
- system it uses - how many years and revisions have they been saying
- they will fix this? It hasn't made it past the 'bit-bundle' yet I
- guess.
