Flame control! (if not already too late)

In article <SJA.89Oct21175221@sirius.hut.fi> I write:
> Have you read etc/INTERVIEW in the GNU Emacs distribution?  Where does
> it mention Apple?
>
> (It just occurred to me: was the interview made before the Apple
> suit/boycott?)

It was; the interview was written in 1986 and the Microsoft vs. Apple
lawsuit was started _two_ _years_ later (source for the latter: the
journal "Communications of the ACM" of May 1989, article "Why The Look
And Feel Of Software User Interfaces Should Not Be Protected By
Copyright Law" (recommended reading!))

This misinformation was purely my own creation and *not* intentional.
My sincere apologies to FSF, Richard Stallman and any others whose
feelings I may have hurt.
