How long until some of the CSMA trolls claim to be hit with this seemingly
rare occurance?

A week?

Two?

Bet it happens!

It's not like it is unbelievable for Apple to botch a system. I've got
one of the late 1.8 GHz single-CPU G5 systems. For the first year I had
it, I, and nearly every other owner of said systems, had all kinds of
problems. It would often fail to sleep. It would fail to come out
sleep. Switching to full screen video had a significant risk of hanging
the machine. External peripherals were unreliable. The list goes on.

After about a year, Apple, having never really acknowledged the
problems, released a firmware update. It fixed everything, turning it
into a great computer.

Don't get me wrong - I am well aware Apple has products with problems. I
was an early adopter of the new iMacs and mine used to lock up... even the
new one I got the first bad one replaced with.

My point is that the chances of any one person being hit with as many severe
problems as some of those in CSMA claim to be hit with is just very
unlikely. Look at Carroll - he recently claimed to be hit with

* Leopard killing batteries

* Leopard typing extra characters

* Leopard showing a geometric shape in login fields that Apple's
site talks nothing about... nor any other site I can find

* Leopard messing up the caps lock symbol and indicators

* Leopard preventing CD burners from working - though Steve was
not able to state what error messages he got (or even
paraphrase them)

* Leopard having "serious problems" with Time Machine...

* Leopard breaking his newsreader in such as way as to force
him to repeatedly nym-shift.

I call BS on his claims...

The real funny thing about it is - the list you provided is NOT Steve's claims
but your claims made up from your poor reading of what Steve has actually
said.

Sigh... which do you now question... I can provide the quotes to prove it.

Won't matter - you still won't get it ... you are that predictably daft.
