The latest copy of "Apple Viewpoints" states that 6.0.1 should be released
on August 15. I guess we will have to wait until Monday to find out.

I have seen information (someone from Apple might confirm this) that says
7.0 is due out in January. I wonder if that will coincide with the release
of new machines? (Bet no one at Apple will confirm this ;-).

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...
