once Apple arrives at the understanding that a chimp can pick up on the use of a scrollwheel and right mouse button, maybe they'll see the light.
if it were just the scroll wheel that was the problem I might be OK but it's the whole design of the pro mouse. I've never found so many people who have trouble using their mouse before, it's just awkward to click, as well. at least they weren't round as they were with the early iMacs...
summation: when Apple decides to put the rest of us above chimp status we'll get better input devices from them. and when their sales people figure out that $69 or $79 or whatever they want for their Apple Pro Mouse is too much, that'll be a happy day, too
there are dual 1.8 and 2 GHz G5s on the Apple store right now. did I miss something earlier in the topic or did these just appear in the last couple of hours?

procmail+formail to strip the DTRI tag out of the message and maybe prepend the subject or body with something like "[sender is a nosey ]".
don't know if procmail & formail can be used to generate new messages to send out but a carefully crafted response, such as "my, my, you're a nosey <same expletive>, aren't you?" could be in store.
just checked back on the MSNBC site, having emailed them four or five hours ago now and not heard back, and, who would have guessed, the names have actually been blurred out now. should've saved a copy of the original graphic...
sad, replying to myself...
So I was just looking at the MSNBC article and greatly enjoyed their (real?) leading graphic.
For that screenshot, the smaller caption was
This is a screenshot of some of the day-care data made publicly available on the Internet. MSNBC.com has blurred out specific names.
Now, is it just me, or can you make out the first two names that have been "blurred out"? My guess, nobody who cares will see the graphic and say, "Oh, that's my XXXXXXX," or, "Is that little XXXXXXXXX they're talking about?"
But how bad is this, MSNBC just reposted it, only to a lesser extent.
