Well, for one he's a Brit, so nobody except other Brits can tell if he's being serious or attempting to be humourous.   wink.gif

And secondly, what amount of weight can you give someone who's best known for being Peewee Herman?  biggrin.gif

Well, he started with sarcasm, then moved into dreaming up potential problems with OSX Server. He didn't ever document actual problems. rolleyes.gif :yawn:

Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

Is this "really" the guy that played PeeWee Herman?  I know two Paul Rubens that aren't!

I assume not; I was just dissing him based on his name recognition. Devilish2.gif

Millionaire's Marlow? He must make loadsa money!

As a fellow Brit, I would guess he's trying to be serious (I didn't get any laughs, anyway, but I'm not a techie).

In the nine years since its launch, it's gone precisely nowhere...

Assuming he's talking about development, a counter-argument could be that Apple had got the software right first time and didn't need to improve on it wink.gif

On that note, I'll leave the discussion to those who have far more idea what they're talking about..... biggrin.gif

As a sidenote this was one of the cheapest properties I could find in Marlow. That's equivalent to $420,000 US for a one-bed flat!

I notice he doesn't have enough confidence to allow comments on his article.  dry.gif

I'm not sure any author has any control over that kind of option at that site. AFAIK, this was only his second article. Maybe his last? smile.gif
