Are delays due to the intricate interactions among pieces The latest copy of "Apple Viewpoints" states that 6.0.1 should be released on August 15.

Sounds like we have a proliferation of Bozo dealers. If 6.0.1 is much better than 6.0 I don't know how we will stand it. We have found 6.0 to be VERY good, unless you want sound to work nicely on a Plus... Jack Brindle
