Silenced Poets

A few years ago I, as everyone in my family, had only used Microsoft operating systems. Anything else was completely foreign to me. I managed to acquire a brand new Powerbook G4, one of the very last ones, as soon after I got it the move to Intel was pushed forward and the first Macbooks were released. Hardware aside, I was exposed to something new and after struggling at first to adapt, I was becoming used to doing things in a different way. A little less than a year later I decided to try Ubuntu on the aging eMachines desktop that my Powerbook had replaced for me.

So let me start this rant by saying that I have in my house 2 windows pcs (both of which are aging), a linux desktop, and an Apple laptop. Now about the current Safari 3.1 and Quicktime issues... What Apple is doing here is absolutely ridiculous. The fact that Apple software update attempts to install Safari 3.1 even if Safari isn't installed and bill it as an "update" is absolutely ridiculous. Now I'd like to look into what could be the cause of this behavior.
