The danger is that once they're in the air system, they're in. They could take a plane from there to somewhere a lot more sensitive. The current air travel system is only as secure as the crummiest podunk airport in the country. (I realize this was in canada, but the same principle holds.)
When you're in the thick of it, and you feel like you're part of the company, it's easy to put things off (as long as you're able to continue to support yourself.) Often, the 'cause' is seen as worth the empty refrigerator. (Been there, done that.)
You can only file disputes if the charges are not legitimate. If I lose my card and it is used, that can be disputed. If I legitimately use my card for things and can't pay it back (for whatever reason), you're SOL. Otherwise, think about the consequences for the credit card companies!
I like the whole thing except for the camera. (That seems completely useless.) The MP3 is convenient and pleasant (I like memory sticks.) The flexibility of shape arrangements seems like a good idea. If I ever need to replace my Palm V this would be a serious contender.
They bought NeXT/OpenStep/NEXTSTEP, BSD came for free. =)
Sometimes, the cleverness to use a supported standard and to leverage work that has already been done as well as you could do in five years is innovation enough.
It works, I'll give you that. (At least when it sees my Epson USB printer.)
Most of my problems are related to my printer -- I have a POS LaserJet 6L. To print to it with the NeXT machines, I have to use JetPilot, which is a great app (www.ipc.de), but it has major issues interoperating with LPR and not pure-NeXT printing approaches.
In any event, it doesn't matter, as I'm in the process of getting a LaserJet 4 to serve as an apartment printer.
WRT the faxing, I'm much happier moving the files to the NeXT and faxing them -- I haven't found an integrated, computer-based faxing system that comes close to the built-in NeXT fax tools. I have no desire to have my Mac do anything about FAXing.

I used it around '98 or '99, and it got the job done for me.
I hope Apple has success -- the PrintManager and the printing architecture in general is a significant weakness of OS X. Printing for me typically entails making a PS or a PDF and moving it to my NeXT for printing or FAXing. It's too much of a bother to deal with the OS X printing tools.
And I can't share my USB printer, which is just stupid. Neither by NetInfo or by SMB, or by LPR.
Everybody knows that nothing happens but at the grace of Steve. Whenever my Mac or NeXT is working well and I'm bopping along, I think pleasantly of Steve. When it goes into what I call "object hell" (endless spinning beach ball) I quietly curse Steve. Then quickly ask for his forgiveness, of course.

Are you a consciencous objector, or are you just lazy?

I'm 22 and feel the same way. But many of my friends who are my age and slightly older eat the stuff up. I can't figure it out at all.
You mean like "grunt...nggggggggghhh...gasp...grrrrrrr"? That's one of my favorites.

That allows the graffiti area to be virtual. (You can get extra screen space or graffiti area. Good idea!)
I hope this connects to Macs well. I have a Palm V and the serial connector adapter, and it really, really blows.
Don't forget the video game opportunities! It shows that Star Wars is still a very powerful video game franchise.

Shit, you're right. That's alarming.
Hehe -- the guys corrects his own grammar and it's flamebait. I don't know why I find that so funny, but it is.
My gosh.
Um, the attentive reader will note that nobody is being sued. Eisner was testifying in congress.

And I highly doubt this would ever end in court. It's just too simple -- easily resolved and lawyers are expensive.

What poor, misguided soul would want to do something so daffy?
