Duh. Like it will ever run on the vast quantity of internal-screen(ie., 68000)
Macintosh's. And who are you to determine what they want, anyway? If, in
fact, the Mac OS is evil, is there no room for 'enlightenment'? So, because
you bought a PC with DOS(with it's crappy interface and loser mem limits), you
are too much of an idiot to use UNIX?

I hate to say this, but this is the attitude many of us have about MicroSloth.
You get their damn OS with your PC(like you have a choice), and their business
practices have drawn their share of hatred and spite(unearned or no).
