I was not going to say anything but as long as someone else brought it up.. :)

Client: 2.0.1 running on MacII 020 w/PMMU, 8 megs, Apple/3Com card.

To the Apple folks on the net, I have just a few simple questions..
	1.  Do you admit that a problem exists?
		1.1  Do you wanna see it in action?
	2.  Do you ever plan to fix it?
		2.1  Why not?
		2.2  When?

I am sorry to have developed an attitude about this but I just cant understand
why you (Apple) just seem to be ignoring this.  It makes me even madder to
read that 2.0.1 has "Mouse control settings now working in Control Panel" and
"Time and Date settings via Control Panel (as root)".  What kind of priorities
are being established there??  Stop adding new features and improving the ksh
and start fixing things that are LONG overdue to be fixed.

Once again, I apologize for my tone but I am at a complete loss..
