  11. Ed -

  13. Actually, I am old enough to remember both Microsoft and Borland producing
  14. tools for Macintosh development. The Microsoft stuff wasn't all that wonderful
  15. (it still isn't on the Windows platform) and Borland didn't have much success
  16. competing with everyone else.
  17.  
  18. Just to really throw sand back at you, Symantec (actually, Think) is probably
  19. more commonly used than Apple's tools.
  20.  
  21. I am not sure where you are coming from with your "disagreements." And I don't
  22. see the anti-trust issues. I do see some foolishness, though.
  23.  
  24. Finally, regarding your last comment - "People need to stop complaining about
  25. what Apple doesn't do, and simply do it themselves" - you CANNOT possibly mean
  26. that all of us need to go out and write our own quirky class libraries and
  27. development tools...?!
