Ain't that the truth. So often a company will let their product die rather than
admit their policies were outdated or flat out wrong. I have seen awesome
software titles go the way of the dodo because people on the inside refused to
change directions when the ship was approaching the shoals. Oh
It's not "dodging" if there is a door there to walk through. Tax dodging refers

People who want to change the world scare me. If you mean "make the world a

world" means "make it into the world I think ought to be" and some very, very
bad people in history fall into this category.

On Apple hardware, or non-Apple HW? Sheepshaver was around for Mac, Win,
Linux, and Amiga since way back when. There were debates about it even
then. Since there were no intel Macs, the Mac version only ran well on the
higher-end Quadra, but could use a ROM from a IIci, etc. The consensus of

Someone made the point, and I think I agree, that this is not an ethical issue.
It may make bad business sense, or may have legal implications, but it goes a

The act of creating anything is a special human endeavor, and as such in
my book it's sacred. Once a work is created, the creator must, IMNSHO,
