ok, since my iTunes/malloc thing went nowhere...

speaking of ds_store, and users prefs for folders, why don't they 
chuck one of these into the "show package Contents" window, for 
cryin' out loud!!  And if that's too much of a 'security risk' how 
about giving that Pref that says "Open All Windows in Column View" 
some BITE!!!

I think the engineers should check into a huge Rehab, get off the 
blow, (the first thing they'd change, in Recovery, would be that 
burnished aluminum window frame BS...), sell Keynote to China, or 
france, and drink good old espresso until the Finder works, reliably, 
LIKE UNIX does.

How about 'skins' for those of us who think coke is a sugary soft 
drink, is that too much to ask???

And get a load of "Dr" Console: 'you should enable mallochelp in the 
Environment... to debug the source code"  Okay, Doc, thanks, I'm sure 
Jobs and his engineers'll love that... uh, where is the source code, 
by the way? Oops, I forgot, it's got some resource-crazed proprietary 
code grafted onto it, so We can't have it... Bill G. can have it, but 
not us... I think I get it now.

where's my copy of Jam, how's OS 9.2.2 doin'?
