Silly applescripter...the Steve only cares about AppleScript to the point
that it allows for neat demos of 3x10^43 iDVD themes at keynotes.

I love AppleSCript, but Apple isn't going to impress me with it's
"AppleScript is a core technology" shuck and jive until it's in everything
they do, and leading the way consistently.

Until I see this mythical "Eating of dogfood", then it's just a con job from
the RDF.

amazingly long amounts of time to promulgate pet religious wars. This of
course explains every problem with Unix.
