pt> [...]boycott of innocent USERS[...]

Users may indeed be innocent, owners are not. The boycott is not aimed
at users, but at apple, indirectly via their customers.

Let's keep this straight, after all I am an innocent user, there is a
macintrash down the hall with some specialised hardware hanging off it
which I have to use. 

Of course, I have cloaned the software it runs to unix, unfortunatly
the hardware is, erm, harder.

The point is that when this overpriced executive toy departs for the
great ethernet in the sky, there will be a choice about what to
replace it with.
