        Ok, this is beyond ridiculous. This is not the comp.*.advocacy
newsgroup where it is expected that every move Apple, Intel, or Microsoft
make will be critized, praised, torn apart, examined, etc... This is a
mailing list that is dedicated to making the technology from those three
companies work together even when the companies aren't working together.
We work in the real world and we need to use all of the available
technology to do our jobs, no matter what we think of the companies who
are selling the technology.

        Is anyone else in favor of making this a moderated list? I
volunteer to be one of the moderators to stop this garbage.
