I am a big Macintosh fan and a big Ada fan.

But my interest is not programming for Macintosh, it is programming
for MacOS.  To say that one can run some other operating system on
a Macintosh is only of academic interest to me.  If I wanted to run
Linux, there are machines for two other Linux-capable architectures
within 7 feet of the Macintosh I use most.

If there were a giant marketplace of potential customers running
LinuxPPC I would still probably develop on Linux/somethingelse
first and then port to LinuxPPC.

I am grateful to Jim Hopper for his efforts, and I would treat
him to dinner if he would just bring MacWorld back to Boston
(the one place I have seen him :-).
