I keep my iBook 1.33 bog-standard and here's what I've found: It lies about the install time - my quoted 1.5 hrs turned into actual 35 min (no languages, no printers no dev tools). Zero install issues. The unified UI is a standout feature. Coverflow+Quicklook together are a standout feature. Data detectors - wonderful. iCal is now a serious calendaring app. We're almost back to Newton functionality;-) Spaces is a standout feature. Almost makes Expose needless. I get FrontRow and PhotoBooth. Classique c'est mort, but we knew that. Spotlight indexing is the same as any previous install, the app is far better. The Dock and Menubar look great with the space-y "defaultdesktop" pic - light desktops not so much, I can see where there are issues.
Just eyeballing it mine seems to refresh every 3 or 4 sec - so I figure if they say I was doing 80 and my max is 65, assuming the traffic court gatekeeper can do four function math and has any idea of the performance of a 98 merc, I'm good. Last one I got out of pre-GPS was thanks to some napkin math, a few aerial shots from the DEP and some original photos. Crown Vics generally can't back out of a parking space, leave a lot and catch you 100 yards up the road in 3.1 seconds they'd need to if you're doing the 70 in a 40 that they claim. The asst. prosecutor probably never had anyone do anything like that legwork before and didn't know what to say.
Many clock max speed. On long hiway trips in unknown areas I keep my eTrex Legend on trip computer with max as a field just in case. I figure a couple dozen DoD satellites might hold sway over a lone radar gun.
Anderson: Okay, here's the plan. We get the data and then hold the RIAA ransom for... 15 HUNDRED dollars!

Okay then... we hold the RIAA ransom for 15... THOUSAND dollars!

A. Someone left their sense of humor in the sock drawer. But as long as you're taking this seriously: B. NCLB has been 80% publicity and 20% make-work. If you believe NCLB has had either a significant or lasting effort on the American public education system, then you either have no connection to the American public education system, or you haven't been paying attention. Things are getting better, no thanks to NCLB. Best practices programs and the teacher training enhancements that began in the 1980s are what most educators can point to with solid, tangible, long-term impact. These teacher requirements, echoed in NCLB were already largely in place by the states before NCLB, it is considered a simple way for the federal government to be able to point to a pre-existing condition as a success story. As for possible student performance linked to NCLB - what evidence do we have? SAT scores started their rebound in the mid 1990s, long before NCLB. In the National Assessment of Educational Progress measured at three grade levels: - for verbal, one grade level is up, one is flat, one is down, and the up began in the 1990s. - for Math, it's 1 flat, 2 up, and those rises started in the early 90s. Again, done without NCLB. As for serving the under-served in NAEP: - the Hispanic-White gap, for language, two grade level gaps are widening, one is closing. For math, one is wider, two are closing. - For the black-white gap: all are narrowing, though only one of them has narrowed to what they were in the late 80s / early 90s. - gender gaps are either tiny or reversed, but then they always were.
NCLB is all stick and no carrot. Besides closing schools who were in dire need of assistance rather than a death sentence, throwing entire school districts onto a **** list and spending hundreds of thousands of local tax dollars due to a handful of students being out of compliance, what exactly has been accomplished in the actual schools?

Cuz then I suggest taking all the remaining Windows ME boxes and as many orange crates, pillowcases, car batteries and servos as needed and go for it!
I saw the ATT deal as making sure they got this done as right as they could in the first go around.
We saw some blips with one carrier to worry about - and Apple was vilified for just those.
Multiple carriers would have made for multiple headaches.
I'd venture the bargain for working with ATT was a longer period of exclusivity than Apple needed.
