Albert, do not be a fool. You are only forcing their hand, and this is what
they want -- to have even more people leave the ][ so they can finally drop
it. I want active ][ development more than moral justice from Apple -- I do
not understand why you boycott Apple when the same principle would require
you to boycott the entire industry (or are you conveniently ignoring that?).
