		<description>Dude, #1 I run this site in my spare time (which is less and less these days), #2 You&#039;re the only person in the history of the site to complain about the comments (seriously) and #3 you&#039;re griping about an app that was released in 2009.</description>

		<description>Hmm, 
Okay, as if to validate everything I\&#039;m about to write. I\&#039;ll point out that this website has no ability to recall written text - specifically, an error occurred when I posted this message, clicking back on my browser returned me to....
a blank box.

Onto the meat of my comment (again):
Yes, this functionality is good, but it\&#039;s not amazing.  Given that we use presentation software commonly for showing workflow, decision trees, flowcharts, etc, this is hardly an innovative function. 

Even so, like an airline that won\&#039;t take your luggage, apple have managed to only go a very small part way to providing useful functionality.
1. As noted, there are enormous limitations on the configuration of the line: only curved lines permitted. Power point enables this (oh, of course I\&#039;m talking about WINDOWS power point, and not office for mac).
2. There is no flexibility in the anchor points - powerpoint enables this (again, not office for mac).
3. only one connecting line is allowed, for any two objects - too bad if you need to iterate between instances.
4. With a connection line, you cannot \&quot;group\&quot; connected objects. 

So in all, yet another ho-hum production from apple. Yes, it&#039;s a good functionality, but then again, so are wheels on a car.

Oh - guys? sort out your website - everyone else can cope with an error in posting, why can&#039;t you?

(addendum - oh look, it happened again!, this time I was &quot;given an option to copy my text... complete with characters I didn&#039;t write, like backslashes before apostrophes... what a disaster you&#039;re presenting!)</description>

		<description>[...] In Keynote &#8216;09 you can now connect objects with lines (straight or curved) that follow your objects as you move them around. I didn&#8217;t know that. [...]</description>
