  Just adding my $0.02 to this interesting, but terrible action....

  1) I don't always agree with Apple's pricing, but I will defend to the
     perverbial {sp??} death their right to guard their source code.  They
     developed, debugged, and distribute a quality OS and why should someone
     besides Apple have the right to distribute it??  Perhaps we could
     hang these people out to dry along with Robert Morse.  I think what
     we're beginning to see is a serious ethical problem in the computer
     industry.  I know that who ever did this wouldn't ever have a place
     in my company {should I ever get one :-) }.

  2) Why would a "legitimate" clone maker touch this stuff with a 10 foot
     pole.  It seems to me that rather than making it easier for clones,
     this rather public action has probably made it more difficult for clones
     because Apple can claim that their code was *illegally* distributed
     so any clone is now suspect.

  3) How come no-one ever bitches about IBM or HP's pricing.  An IBM PS/2 is
     more or less just as much as a Macintosh.  Our bookstore is selling
     an IBM PS 30 with a 286 & 20 meg HD for approx. $2500.00, and a Mac SE
     with a 20 meg HD is approx. $1900.00.  If you want a quality product
     you have to pay.  I can see it now, hey Rolls, why don't you price your
     Bentley down around here with the Ford escorts..

  Oh well, perhaps this was a nickles worth of comment.  But what ever happens
I hope Apple finds, fires {if appropriate}, and prosecutes who ever did this.
