In regards to your constant persecution of Apple and your support of Microsoft, I'd like to add my voice. Microsoft is far from a "good company" in view of FSF principals. They have a lock on almost all PC's via Windows and DOS. Their products rarely communicate with our resident programs and often cause these programs to not work properly. The suggested response from Microsoft is to by one of their products to replace the faulty product from another company. I really can't see how you can avidly support Microsoft in the face of this. Besides that, I do support FSF and the GNU project. I'm very much in favor of free software that is available to many people on many platforms. Sincerely, Drew J.
