Ouch.  The first sentence is true; everything after that, I'm told, is 
quasi-religious nonsense.  Apple is more interested now than we ever have 
been before in connectivity (witness our relatively-new TCP/IP support and 
our already-announced-but-not-yet-shipping X-Windows server for the Mac 
OS).

Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa.  My apologies to CLIM fans everywhere.  By 
the way, in the future, I'll make every attempt to address technical 
concerns regarding MACL here (since that's my job), and every attempt to 
let the MACL product manager address "future directions" issues (since 
that's her job).
