----------
You distribute binaries you can't use because there are a lot of
people on the net who CAN use them and you hope that some of those
people will distribute things that THEY can't use but you can.
As an exercise, define the difference between "self interest"
and "enlightened self interest." [I have no particular interest
in seeing your answers, but, I suppose, if it would make you
feel better...]

We have quite a few users here who DO use Macs, both at work
and at home, and would definitely not want the distribution of
useful Mac-ware do stop.
