Hardly off topic.  Very computer related.

Like Stallman quoted.  I'm not glad he's dead, but I'm glad he's gone.

It remains to be seen if Apple can return to it's roots of openness or 
it will remain as Stallman said, "A Jail that is cool".

At one point I have a Mac "Implant" card from my Amiga.  Very compatable 
the early Macs and Amigas.  They used the same processor.  When I looked 
at the price of Mac software, three time the price of Windows which on 
average was three times the price of Amiga wares, I sold the thing to a 
bigger fool for what I paid for it.
