	On Friday, August 7th, Apple Computer lost its "look and feel"
lawsuit against Microsoft.  The judge rejected the basic concept of
a "look and feel" test for software copyright infringement and made
many other important rulings which were good news for our freedom to
write software.

	As far as I can tell, funding Apple no longer seriously
jeopardizes my basic freedoms.  Therefore, assuming that Apple does
not appeal, I will begin scanning the Apple newsgroups and forwarding
the Apple postings to comp.archives.
