Let *us* be clear Dan, You are not a cowboy, but you need to go

Right, because I purchased the latest available Leopard Server 2 weeks
previous, I was completely an idiot to think that it wouldn't work in
a new Apple machine. Sorry, but not all of us become troglodytes and
live and breath every thing Apple does. Common sense tells me.. you
are an Apple *Kiss-Ass* however smart you may be.
Get over yourself. It's a Horrible BUG. I'm not even sure Microsoft
would have let this out the door. It would be one thing if 10.5.2 came
out a few days after, but a month? Why the hell would I pay for OSX
Server again, just because I got a new machine two weeks before a new
machine I bought was not even out yet? The issue is that apple does
not release an update for those that have to suffer this bug. NOTE:
These are APPLE CORPORATE CLIENTS.. something apple has not given a
shit about for a long time.
Sorry Dan Shoop, but just as you are wrong about the kernel updates,
you are wrong in this regard as well.
So since you felt the need to insult me, as you do to everyone that
isn't kissing you cheeks the same way you kiss apple's. Do I need to
say more? You can carry on now, camper.
