Hi ti-listers,

I don't want to get too involved in this long thread other than to 
offer the reality that software companies sell software that is rarely 
perfect. In fact, the further you go away from mission critical systems 
like defence and banking, and closer to "consumer" systems, the more 
imperfect the systems are.

This may sound frightening to a lowly user who just wants to "get on 
with their work", but everyone needs to to start thinking in terms of 
risk and risk management, if they want to keep their sanity.

If a salesman came to your door offering a brand new lock that they 
would install for nothing that had significant technical advantages, 
would you sign up?

I would probably wait to see if other people in the neighborhood were 
signing up, and if they were having problems or not, before I made the 
decision.

Sometimes its fun (or necessary) to be an early adopter, but please 
remember, YOU are in control of your system. You authorise software 
updates and everything else that requires Administrator passwords to 
happen on your Powerbook.

good luck,

Tarik
