Sorry but neither you nor I have the right to single-handedly change 
the aim of this list. Using the link available in every message clearly 
states:

"Titanium G4 is a place to discuss the issues that relate to buying, 
using, maintaining, and troubleshooting Apple's new G4 PowerBook."

It has been agreed among the listmembers to include the Al-books in 
this but all other drifting subject is clearly Off Topic even if many 
of us gladly accept that, when kept short and at least about Mac.

In another message Tim also quotet and wrote:

And so ´jolly well´ it should have been! :-)

I think that thoose providing you comment off-line might have done so 
because they feel it is an Off Topic subject.

I sincerly hope that their will be _no_ substantive comments about such 
articles on this list. I don't mind you sending a link but discussions 
about this belongs to other lists. If you do insist please mark [OT].

In yet another message Wendy Austin commented:

I agree, but two or even three wrongs doesn't make one right. It is 
because the list content has been drifting so very badly that we now 
are happy that we at least coming closer to the subject. :-)

Will end this letter with a note that apart from this Apple_Future 
subject, I have appreciated the last few days clearly more on the line 
content of the list. Thank you. :-)
