And thanks to Apple, another compelling reason

don't care to get into the ring itself, do you david? so you point to a shiny distraction off to the side! we're talking about the plain-text format, and how it is the most useful format for eliciting beauty (and more)... we're talking about how so many people -- like you -- argued with me over a period of several years about this very point, and how i have emerged victorious... that's what we're talking about... -bowerbird p.s. and, since you mentioned it, the brouhaha with apple gave _tons_ of additional exposure to eucalyptus, so -- in the end -- it gave the program a tremendous lift. i'm gonna do everything i can to make sure that my apps are held up by apple the same way, to get public sympathy.
