Being told that all I am interested is making money and gouging people and raping them does not make me feel welcome or inclined to keep using my own time to support folks. If you would have read the other messages about MacinTalk, you would have known that Apple licensed MacinTalk. We do not own it. We have a license that gives us the right to redistribute it. We do not have the right to disassembly and modify it. To make MacinTalk work on the 020 machines, we had to patch the binary. I know, because I am the product manager that made it happen. Your words are powerful things, and when you spew out venom at us and our work, it makes us wonder why we do it. -- Jordan Mattson UUCP: jordan@apple.apple.com Apple Computer, Inc.
