Like every excitable Apple fanboy should I drove to an Apple store on August 28th, bought my copy of Snow Leopard,  then immediately and dutifully installed it on my Macbook Pro. Later that night I tried to use my AT&T Option GT Ultra Express card and Globetrotter Connect software branded items (names now etched in my memory). I haven't had the use of that limb until this morning. Option updated their software for OSX 10.6 and now my Deaf Snow Leopard can hear in the wild again. Thank you Option team!

Shame on me for jumping right in and, if I wanted to immediately use the card, I could have just reinstalled 10.5. Sure, but what about the road warriors who bought a new mac in these last couple of weeks and tried to use their card or unwittingly subscribed to AT&T's 3G service as a new customer? Maybe AT&T will do something for us. Or maybe we all get postcards in the mail someday about a class action suit in which the class gets pennies the lawyers get tens or hundreds of thousands, but that's another story.
