Top 10 Apple flops (TUAW.com)

Mar 28th 2007 12:45AM Cyberdog was awesome and way ahead of its time, as was Open Doc on which Cyberdog was based. OD was abandoned as part of the pressure put on by Microsoft at that time to go with their technology.

For an example of Applescript sample code for instantly ftp'ing a file, like here: http://danshockley.com/codebits.php
