iOS devices are successful but it's as easy to claim that it's in spite of an OS that is a functional failure as it is to give the OS any credit. Since people don't get to choose between increased flexibility and security, there's no way to know. The convoluted methods required when attempting to use two different apps when working with one document are strong evidence against functional viability from a *computing* perspective. Those devices make great media consumption tools but that's an awfully low setting of the bar if it's applied to "real" computers. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
