The names in the following Mom story have been changed to protect the innocent :rolleyes:

"Mom" somehow managed to get her Netscape Communicator email folder into the Trash, where Netscape happily operated on it for many months. The good times came to an end when "Mom" called me up to debug some problem over the telephone. For some reason, debugging the problem caused me to suggest that the trash be emptied, and because "Mom" obviously didn't do that as a regular practice, there were hundreds of files to be deleted, and I quickly (and wrongly) concluded after listening to the first part of the list that it was okay to do so. The next credit card statement had charges for Timbuktu and a disk unerase program.

Any rumors that "Mom" and I had a role in the MobileMe/iPhone 3G/App Store rollout are strictly fabrications, let me assure you!
