Once you put your address on a publicly accessible list, it became public information. Anyone that knows your name can google and find the address you use for this list. I disagree with Hamlin too, mailing addresses are public and free information, e-mail addresses are not. David --

It's a moot point in any case, since Apple never promised graphics acceleration (of any sort) on these older supported systems (nor was it ever planned). It got added as a compromise (on Apple's behalf) as a way of showing that they were willing to listen to user requests. Read the original
