^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And the next thing you know it, the headlines will read, "Microsoft buys out Apple"

Not that I'm against Apple winning--I wish they'd knock M$ right off the market. I just don't think that Bill Gates would
have gotten as far as he has just to let Apple come and steal the show.

Just the same, it doesn't hurt to wish.....

I can testify here that the DR2 release of MkLinux on the PowerMac rocks big
time!!  It really demonstrates the quality and performance of the PowerMac
hardware (unlike Mac OS). The developer release of Rhapsody with the BSD kernel
is equaly impressive. If Apple can pull this off without screwing it up (or
abandoning it, as they are famous for), they have a real genuine shot at giving
WinNT and Intel a run for the money.
