Gabe: A few eagle eyed viewers noticed that I accidentally drew a Nebulon-B frigate in today's comic. Gabe mentions the Mon Calamari and the Corellians but the Nebulon-B is actually produced by the Kuat Drive Yards.I deeply regret the mistake and I have since corrected it in the comic by replacing the original drawing with one of the Mon Calamari Cruiser "Liberty", sadly lost in the Battle of Endor . I am in no way trying to diminish the Nebulon-B frigate or the fine craftsmanship of the dedicated workers employed by KDY. Again I apologize for any inconvenience or offence my carelessness may have caused.  -Gabe out

First, the big news is that lines are forming at Apple stores. Send links to pictures. Oh the humanity. Second, the reason those of us who ordered in advance are not getting our Leopards is that Fedex couldn't handle the load.  Even so, when I called Fedex this morning they said I would have my package today, even though the website says otherwise. Their gears are stipped on a good day. Is Fedex the AT&T of package delivery? Will Apple end up leasing their own fleet of trucks to deliver the next version of Mac OS? I guess we still have to make it through this release.  Will we be able to have a Flash Conference on Monday to discuss Leopard? Only time will tell.

Sir, I hope that all city councillors saw the Country Calendar programme, Saturday January 27. The programme graphically showed the importance of wetlands. Such areas were prolific around our estuaries in 1961. The destruction of our wetlands around Tahunanui, Annesbrook and Stoke horrifies me.

"I've never seen so many. Seeing them all there waving to my on that last lap left me feeling really emotional. Winning is always special, this one is even more so. I'm just glad that I could put on such a show for them and give them the victory"  John McGuinness secured a place for himself and Honda in the Isle of Man TT record books as he won the delayed opening race in the Centenary Festival, the six lap Superbike race. via Paddock Talk
