I think if GNU boycotts all companies that sue others, GNU will be GNP--Gnu's Not Ported. Come on. Is this lawsuit so much more evil than others that get filed all the time? Does Apple deserve a "boycott" any more than those companies? I guess by "alternative" you mean IBM products? I like this thinking :-|. > But an Apple monopoly > could easily make the price of such computers at that time several times > what it would otherwise be. What Apple monopoly? You mean the monopoly on Apple computers? They've had that all along. Now that they've filed a lawsuit they're a monopoly?! Wake up, wildebeests. -- Michael Sullivan {uunet|attmail}!vsi!sullivan V-Systems, Inc. Santa Ana, CA sullivan@vsi.com Just say to yourself over and over, "President Quayle". I can't do more than 2.
