I don't get why typing in a simple password is so much of a hassle that one opts not to do it and leave themselves (even marginally) vulnerable?

All right, now the BIG thanks, Stoo, I just got all the files I needed to transferred. I'm new to file sharing and new to OSX, so it took a lot of trial and error even with your terrific help, but I definitely couldn't've done it without your pos…

All shipments appear to be orders directly through Apple. According to my MacConnection rep, they're still waiting for Apple to ship them any new Alu15"s, and a check of other third party resellers seems to indicate that they're in the same boat.…
