Bravo Scott! He's sacrificed much of his time and money to support OS9. More power to him. The Usenet is for the free dissemination of information. And while the "commercial" offers of misc.forsale purporting to get you easy money are indeed in very poor taste, his offer was far from that. Geesh, no gratitude. No wonder there is so little motivation to develop for OS9. Let's hope the MM1, Paul, Kevin, and other people like Scott change that.
