    Topic selection is a pull down box. AMD and Apple are right next to eachother in the list and this is an simple off by one data entry error.

    I think it's more complex than that...

    First of all to understand what happened to Taco, you gotta understand who CmdrTaco was. Now Taco was born to a three-legged bitch of a mother, and he was always ashamed of this, man. And then right after that he's adopted by this man - Tito Liebowitz. He's a small time gun runner and a slashdot-editor fight promoter. So he puts Taco into training. They see he's good. He is damn good. But then he had the fight of his life. They pit him against his brother, GeneralGordita. And Taco said "no man that's my brother, I can't fight Gordita!" but they made him fight anyway, and Taco, he killed Gordita. Taco said "that's it!" He called off all his fights, and he started doing crack, and he freaked out. Then in a rage, he collapsed, and he selected the wrong category in the pull-down menu. wow.

    Um, you've been Redmond-conditioned. Apple doesn't provide security fixes for 10.1, because there aren't any known security holes in 10.1

    The latest security fix requires 10.2.4 because that's the version that has the security hole.

    I hate Microsoft (Windows ease of use is way over-rated). I love Unix and Linux and the Mac OS X. Long Live Linus!

    Finally, please, PLEASE Steve, simple admit that a two-button mouse (along with scroll well which also serves as a third button) is simply better than a single-button Apple mouse, and get on with it!!! A one-button mouse SUCKS!!!

    I know that this is feeding the troll, but anyway :
    the majority of mac users are dumbos that get frustrated with even 1 mousebutton. Adding 2 + a wheel would drive those users bananas. My mother loves her mac (among other reasons) for the simplicty of never having to ask me 'which mouse button is that, left or right ?'
    The remainder of the mac community are nerds & freaks who don't mind paying 49$ for an optical 3button wheel mouse.

    So tell me again, why should steve introduce a needlessly complex device when a simple, appropriate one exists for the dumbos, and a complex appropriate one exists for the nerds ?
