I saw a posting a while ago that said words to the effect of "Don't talk about porting our stuff to machine X". As I remember machine X was a Macintosh. My question is: Was that a statment that meant a) a joke (without the :-) b) we hate anything that has the Apple name on it c) we don't want to know about getting GNU to run under MacOS, MS-DOS, GEM, etc. For argument, say I have a Mac running A/UX (I don't, but for argument...) Was this remark saying avoid that machine like the plague as far as FSF is concerned? Even though it is running Unix and possibly X11, etc.? Just curious... -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Buller texbell!vector!jonb jonb@vector.dallas.tx.us FROM lawyers IMPORT Disclaimer; FROM fortune IMPORT Quote;
