Petition Adobe to release DisplayTalk for the Mac; Randy Adams and
Bill Woodruff were showing it off at the Adobe Dev. Conf. this year
but they said that its release probablity was questionable due to
er, intelligent marketing decision-makers at Adobe. Essentially
they were showing it to rally support. They had the DPS server running
on the Mac to support it.

Write to Cynthia Johnston, Warnock et al. saying that you want this.

Or better yet, chuck the Mac and get a NeXT machine. (just kidding
partially). What you're trying to do suggests that this is what you
really want anyway.
