At the same time though, the vitality (or "ludibund" - closest opposite I found on Google for moribund) of Project Wonder and WOLips has more than compensated for Apple's moribundness ....... in fact Apple's moribundness might be an advantage since it if it was not moribund, it might continually break compatability with and slow down the ludibundness (read "progress") of Project Wonder!
Cheers, Kieran ;-)
