Drew reminds me of a kid I knew in high school who routinely got his legal advice from the first response he got on Yahoo Answers. You can't seriously expect someone with that mindset to have the patience or skill set to read the OS X license agreement, can you? I mean, he doesn't even have the patience or skill set to read paragraph-long answers that he's given on this mailing list (see his countless other threads). -Jeremy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
