So this newsgroup is just for discussions for the Operating System
itself? iTunes, Terminal, Safari and other Apple programs should be in
comp.sys.mac.apps along with 3rd party apps? And isn't
comp.sys.mac.comm for modems and wire/wireless networking?

And how many times have you been directed to relevant comp.sys.mac.*
groups instead of this one?

I would consider discussion of iTunes to be better placed in
comp.sys.mac.apps because it's part of iLife, which is a retail product.

Personally, I consider discussion of *any* application in the
Applications folder to be best placed in comp.sys.mac.apps, regardless
of whether or not it's installed with the operating system.

Change is inevitable.
Conservatives should learn that "inevitable" is not a synonym for "bad."
Liberals need to learn that "inevitable" is not a synonym for "good."

He's openly expressed his admiration of MC.
