[sorry I have to reply through heresay, I missed the original article]

ON the other hand, I am happy to find out that apple is FINALLY
liscensing its system as "Apple/Macintosh Destop" or something.
Announcements were made yesterday or something that sun and apple have
signed agreements to do a nice port to sparcs, and I think other
manufacturers have things in the works.

HOPEFULLY, they will do a FULL port (unlike "WABI"), and get all the
multimedia stuff, audio, quicktime, etc, etc in there.

I'd MUCH rather have that, than an MS windoze interface.
