In some respects I feel like I was born under a bad moon. On the one hand, not only are certain GNU products prime examples of "software-as-art," i.e., fast, efficient, elegant, etc., they are the best implementations around ... i.e., G++ and EMACS. On the other hand, I am a VAX/VMS programmer and a Mac owner with responsibilities that run deeper than my software/political ideaology, and I guess you can see how I might feel a little put out by the current sentiment at FSF. If FSF software is supposed to be as "free as the air," then I guess there just isn't much air over here where I'm sitting. v v sssss|| joseph hall || 4116 Brewster Drive v v s s || jnh@ecemwl.ncsu.edu (Internet) || Raleigh, NC 27606 v sss || SP Software/CAD Tool Developer, Mac Hacker and Keyboardist -----------|| Disclaimer: NCSU may not share my views, but is welcome to.
