The way I see this issue is as follows: If FSF/LPF fails to contact Clinton
and appraise him of the Apple situation, then the boycott is a weak excercise
in passive resistance that will cease to be weak _only_ if the general public
(_outside_ of the net, you know, John and Jane Q. Public) is made aware of
it. If you want my vote (this goes for the Green Party in america as well),
_obtain political visibility_. Otherwise, I will have about as much sympathy
for the needs of FSF/LPF as their boycott has towards myself and other Mac
developers and users.
 
I own a mac as well, but don't have a NeXT or Sun or ATT/Unix box or much
of anything else besides an old IMSAI S-100 box; I intend to port GNU to it
if just to have a solid way of porting apps away from it, however, like
Jurgen Botz, I like my mac which means that porting things away will not
be its only use.
 
Apple's port of GCC for MPW limits it to produce code only for the mac and
prevents it from becoming a cross compiler; my port will be _much_ more
useful since it will be cross-capable as originally intended and the compiler
itself will be unmodified so as to make trivial the incorporation of future
versions of GCC. (Apple, in its finite wisdom chose to modify the compiler
itself to produce code for a limited assembler that is dumb about variable
references, namely MPW Assembler.)

In summary, _please_ contact Clinton! I'm all for freedom for programmers,
however I am excercising mine now.
