Yeah, Apple sure is the evil empire.  I think if GNU boycotts all companies
that sue others, GNU will be GNP--Gnu's Not Ported.  Come on.  Is this
lawsuit so much more evil than others that get filed all the time?
Does Apple deserve a "boycott" any more than those companies?  I guess by
"alternative" you mean IBM products?  I like this thinking :-|.

What Apple monopoly?  You mean the monopoly on Apple computers?  They've
had that all along.  Now that they've filed a lawsuit they're a monopoly?!
Wake up, wildebeests.
