RE: The Mac Needs a Two Button Mouse -- Oh Wait!
[quote] a huge sign of the contempt that Steve Jobs holds for people[/quote] I wouldn't go that far. Rather, I believe it's an unwarranted obsession and a sign of inflexible thinking that creates an experience that no longer serves modern users.

RE: How AT&T Screwed up and Left an Opening for Verizon
Bosco: a check at Amazon showed two versions: a textbook version with chapter summaries & questions for homework -- and a less expensive version for non classroom use.
