Please don't ask them (us) to compromise their (our) >beliefs for your convenience. You bought the Mac, implicitly supporting >Apple's business practices--now live with your decision. Keep the Mac and >forget GNU software or replace the Mac. The choice is yours. How interesting.

Is there a lawyer in the house? >-- >Dave Sill (de5@ornl.gov) Computers should work the way beginners >Martin Marietta Energy Systems expect them to, and one day they will. >Workstation Support -- Ted Nelson cordially, mikhail zeleny@husc.harvard.edu "Les beaulx bastisseurs nouveaulx de pierres mortes ne sont escriptz en mon livre de vie.
