Actually, they announced the new Mac OS X Server at WWDC 2001 and I have not heard them backing away from shipping the Developer Tools in the base release. At least some parts of Apple appear to realize that they have more to gain from acquiring new developers than from squeezing a small number of developers for $1000 each. I may be naive or you may be cynical; what say we wait a few months to see how things shake out. -r -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm - home page, resume, etc. http://www.cfcl.com/Meta/md_fb.html - The FreeBSD Browser email: rdm@cfcl.com; phone: +1 650-873-7841 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
