I think I sent the messages just to bowerbird, so they wouldn't be in the archives, reminder is that the site I was reading for iPad data, numbers, descriptions, etc., was not good.... When I got better data, it was more obvious-- but since I had never even seen an iPad then, I had no other data to work with, and Apple, IRRC wasn't saying much in the early days.

hmm.  that's weird.

i don't recall any discussion of "faulty data", and i reviewed some of the posts earlier today, so i could retrieve the actual date of the bet...

it was on april 21st of this year, if you care. and i keep archives of this list on my site...

the april archive doesn't even contain the word "faulty". nor did i find synonyms for it around the word "data"...
