Apple has made it quite clear that they won't document things that have
already been documented a zillion times. For Obj-C users, this means they
get to go to a UNIX store to buy a BSD book...Apple's definitely not gonna
reinvent the BSD wheel. For Java users, this means you get to go pick up
your favorite Java reference/manual and read up on threads. On a side note,
I definitely agree that Apple shouldn't redocument the common stuff...that
way they can focus their energy on the docs we *really* need for the cocoa
specific interfaces.
