Why, because you set yourself up so nicely?

You want to exchange, maybe GCC with your friends?  (A program which
works quite nicely on the Amiga).

Perhaps you look forward to a world when all the world is apple (or
*86), and everything is warm and cozy?

Please note that the "boycott" vs apple consists of a no-support
policy, and a polite request that you do the same.  And yes, the
no-support policy is extended to GNU manifestations, such as the gnu.*
hierarchy (again, polite requests only -- as far as I know), and ftp
from prep.ai.mit.edu.

Apple, on the other hand, uses _heavy_ legal action to stop you (or
anyone else) from sharing their software, and is attempting legal
action aimed at controlling software based on _what_it_does_ rather
than _who_wrote_it.  If you want to go ahead and give money to an
organization that is, more than any other group, trying to impair my
ability to write and distribute software of my own, well...

Why in the world do you want to share software with your friends????
