I think I am going to ignore you and your language. You seem to be=20

therapy. In the mean time you can ponder the fact that apple released=20=
what they had to satisfy demand. Programs are never done, you can=20

people don't always do what you want them to do or always have the same=20=
priorities as you. I got most of what I wanted as did most people I=20
know. Your priorities may not have been the same. You did get a very=20=
stable os that actually gave you usably virtual memory, protected=20
memory, application isolation, high performance web page server, neXt=20
API's, a unix application layer, and an easy to use interface. After=20=

(a few months latter). I for one am glad they did the other things=20
first as a DVD player running on an os that could crash half way into=20
your movie would suck.
