macmark, Yes I read it, yes I made the mistake I try to avoid .....
The mistake of forming an opinion based on half-ass media reporting, sound-bytes if you will ... The yahoo article leaves out important details contained in the Apple release. Details that make sense.
Thanks for correcting me
Sorry Steve .....
