By "doubly so" do you mean to imply that they use ROT-26?

I prefer to think that God simply has a very sick sense of humor.

Ho ho ho, allow me a moment, my monocle has fallen into my snifter of brandy. Ho ho!

I, being a LINUX USER, you see, do not have such mundane Mico$$$$$$$$$oft problems, ho ho!

Did I mention I use LINUX! Ho ho. I bet you are impressed with my LINUX USING ABILITY. We USERS OF LINUX have SOFTWARE REPOSITORIES, ho ho ho. By USING LINUX you too can have a SOFTWARE REPOSITORY.

What is that I hear? You use Mico$$$$$oft products?! Ho ho! My dear friend, you must cease at once and switch to LINUX. LINUX has SOFTWARE REPOSITORIES, did I mention this? Ho ho ho...

oh dear, it appears my monocle has come off again! Ho ho!

sudo apt-get install monocle

HTH.

I called up my local Apple store with exactly this question. They said "Come in and buy a retail copy of 10.6, we'll burn you a disc with 10.5 on".

YMMV.

I just bought a retail 10.5 disc from Apple (had to call their support number, they don't sell it on their website) to upgrade a G4 PowerBook. If I'd known this I'd have bought the retail 10.6, taken the burnt 10.5, and upgraded my wife's MBP from 10.5 to 10.6 for the same price.

crap.

We're lucky Slashdot properly escapes its SQL input. Aa headline like "Firm to 'DROP DATABASE `web_server`" might otherwise result in havoc. :P
