- I have to second Mr. Murphy's opinion. We understand why FSF is not happy
- with Apple. But there are other ways to deal with that.

- The boycott only affects users like us that spent a small fortune buying
- a lowly Mac, and won't have money to buy a Sparcs station any time soon.
-
- Thanks a lot for what you have done, though.
