As a related topic to Apple's sueing Microsoft, Sun has recently developed
a graphical interface for Unix which gives it a similar "look and feel" to
the Macintosh.  To avoid getting sued, they obtained a licence from Xerox
who developed the original concept a PARC.  I'd love to see Apple try to sue
Sun, or better yet, I'd love to see Xerox put Apple in its place.

Apple deserves alot of credit for popularizing user un-hostileness, but they
also deserve to be viewed as what they really are, a company in business to 
make money.  They will use any legitimate means to maintain an edge, even
if it restricts the publics access to better technology.





      The above opinions are my own, Tandy/Radio Shack is in no way 
      responsible for my babbling.
