Dear Eric -
  As one of those people that reads the news groups and trys to support people 
out there, I have to say that messages like yours, backed with venom, talking
about an Apple that you do not see day to day make me wonder about the 
value that people put on my work.
  Being told that all I am interested is making money and gouging people and
raping them does not make me feel welcome or inclined to keep using my own
time to support folks.
  If you would have read the other messages about MacinTalk, you would have
known that Apple licensed MacinTalk.  We do not own it.  We have a license
that gives us the right to redistribute it.  We do not have the right
to disassembly and modify it.  To make MacinTalk work on the 020 machines,
we had to patch the binary.  I know, because I am the product manager that
made it happen.  
  Your words are powerful things, and when you spew out venom at us and our
work, it makes us wonder why we do it.
