I am glad we received this calming and positive information. I will now
rest easier knowing that the future is not grim and we will have - or
maybe have - support for the Mac. We know it is all Apple's fault. If
they want people to use their computers, they better finance development
of software for them. We all know Intel and AMD do just that, right?
Wait, have I heard this before? "It is not my fault, its his!"
Oh, I am sorry. It is what my 6 yr old says, pointing at his older
brother, when accused of making a mess. How can what works for a kid
fail in case with company?..
Cheers,
Pavel
P.S. Lets just say (c) that what you were told is not the same what I
heard. Oh boy, PR is everything :-(
