I think it's really misleading for the main ruby site to promote a one click installer for mac, where the one click installer website concludes its promotional hype by saying, you have nothing to lose by installing ruby 1.8.6 with the one click installer because its simple to uninstall. That's a lie, and I don't think the main ruby site should promote con artists. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
