One quick comment:

I still find myself talking to people who don't know about what Apple 
is attempting to do. I've found that one of the best ways to get a 
message to large numbers of people is to put it in a Usenet .signature
and leave it there for a few weeks.

I'd like to suggest that other people who refuse to buy Apple products
because of Apple's monopolistic practices make a point of giving up 
one line of .signature to say so. If people start seeing these .sig 
lines cropping up all over the place in diverse newsgroups, it might 
be more obvious how much anti-Apple feeling there is. When you get 
enquiries by mail (you will -- after a couple of days I'd already had 
mail from two people) send back CALMLY-WORDED replies explaining a few
of the basic issues and point in the direction of some FSF documents.

At the moment Mac users tend to be dismissive of the FSF boycott, 
commenting that it's 'just a few hackers'. Of course, they might be 
right, in which case I'll be the odd one out...
