No problem at all, Greg.

I understand. I do sometimes find it amusing when the "other side" has 
it's problems, just like any ordinary geek might, and it's in front of 
an audience. It's embarrassing, I guess, and I get some sort of twisted 
amusement out of it.
As most of the best jokes are, it's at the expense of someone eise!
You think that's so funny, because you're glad it isn't you!  <g>

No. I gather it was decided upon, because of the overall expense of 
producing this broadcast vs. the lack of any notable 
return-on-investment. In other words, it would gain them (Apple) so 
little advantage in any facet of advertising, and it just wasn't worth 
it. Makes sense, if true...
