I have to second Mr. Murphy's opinion. We understand why FSF is not happy
with Apple. But there are other ways to deal with that.
The boycott only affects users like us that spent a small fortune buying
a lowly Mac, and won't have money to buy a Sparcs station any time soon.
Thanks a lot for what you have done, though.
