Dumbest non-spam email ever

Hi all,

Just a short e-mail to apologise for the delay in the release of version
1.2.1, which fixes a number of bugs that people have reported with 1.2.0,
including:

* Reference count exceptions from the B-Tree code
* (Potentially severe) slowdown and excessive memory usage under some
  circumstances, due to a threading bug
* Problems with unmounted disks that are marked as having a custom icon
  but that do not, in fact, have a .VolumeIcon.icns file

Please accept our apologies for these issues, which we have fixed for
the 1.2.1 release.

The reason for the delay in the release is that we've been having a bit
of trouble testing bootable CD support with Apple's latest CD images
(this isn't Apple's fault, by the way).  We will endeavour to get the
1.2.1 release out as soon as we are able to verify bootable CD support.

Finally, if you're waiting for an Intel Mac compatible version, the first
betas will be released *after* we get 1.2.1 out.

Apologies and best wishes,

Coriolis Systems Limited

Note that last bit,"Finally, if you're waiting for an Intel Mac compatible version, the first betas will be released *after* we get 1.2.1 out."

So, you bothered me to let me know that I still can't use your software, but hey, you fixed some bugs in the old version fewer and fewer people use?

I saw the Subject line in the message summary window, did a little "yippee" because you have no idea how much fragmentation affects Mac users, then made it halfway through the email before I said,"omgwtfbbq?"
