- oh ?!? it's "on again" ???
-
- I would like to know more about that. Originally, I had been told
- that PowerBook Tuner would be released as a (free) fix of OS 7.0.x.
-
- after 7.1 was released (and I asked "what about releasing the Tuner")
- I was told (about as officially as one can, "unofficially") that "the
- problem is fixed in 7.1 and we do not fix bugs in outdated OSes".
-
- Fine, I said, you can expect me to raise hell about it not being
- a free upgrade ...
