[G4] snow leopard

[Harry Freeman]

Keith, Eric, Richard would you three please take this conversation off- 
line.
Otherwise I'll have to build an eMail rule to send them to the trash.

Please don't take offense, it's just that you are not offering  
anything of interest.

I have Snow Leopard, got it the first day that it was available, and  
there's not much you can do or say that will change what they are  
going to do over in Cupertino.

Best regards,

Harry
