    Snow Leapard out[^] I don't get it. Everyone goes all gushy about paying $30 for a service pack. I think of XP SP2 and Vista SP1 and how much was in each of those, and how if Miscrosoft charged they would be absolutely slammed. But with Applie it's a "no brainer". Well, I guess no brainer really does describe the entire situation well.

    While it's true that apple has far better marketing, I'd pay $30 for a SP that works, over being forced to download a SP for free over and over, for a SP that does not. I am still fighting with Telstra over $500 in excess fees for XP SP3 redownloading itself silently, no matter how often I told it not to, as it broke my AMD PC.
