When the first Mac clones come out, would it be to our benefit to support those machines? Doing so would indeed seem to be detrimental to Apple. Would the benefit of having Gnu software run on an inexpensive machine that competes with the Macintosh outweigh the cost of having a bunch of Gnu software run on the Mac too? I don't think it'd be easy to help people get the stuff running on the clones in such a way as to hinder its running on the originals. -- Doug DeJulio ddj@zardoz.club.cc.cmu.edu
