For those who have been justifiably complaining about Meridian "getting things wrong" regarding Sooloos over the past few months, the short story and long story of how Apple have basically screwed with their customers over the past week makes for some interesting reading.......and hopefully gives perspective to those who think that these kinds of issues are somehow unique to Meridian

In the situation outlined above, Apple has actually prevented access to Users' Files that they were collaborating on......imagine the reaction here if a Meridian 'bug' resulted in users losing access to their music files.....and essentially not being able to play them for 4 weeks??

Seriously? The company hasn�t even launched 10.10 Yosemite yet!......so how can we install it??

Ultimately this suggests that we can no longer collaborate on this spreadsheet, at least not until Yosemite launches [in 4 weeks time]

When we tried to close the Numbers app on our Mac we got a spinning beachball. Necessitating a Force Quit.
