Early versions of the Apple Logo were repleat with Newton under the tree. So it does seem that they unitentionally follow the spirit of Newton. As their shareholders would expect them to. Doesn't really matter to them whether they are morally or ethically the first with GUI. I would judge Apple's new sales figures on their own "clones" to bely the success of President Stallmans sanctions & boycott against Saddam Sculley. I would also say it is unnoticed by them...their target audience is now corporate america and small businesses. If you really wanted to hammer them you would promote say the NeXT machine as the programmers machine of choice and mount your offensive in the marketplace by developing the most powerful applications in existence for personal computing on that platform. Then refuse to port them to Macintosh. But port them to RS6000 running NextStep/GNU/Objective C. Anyway have fun guys.... David
