Hi:

While we are talking about Apple (underage programmer), if I were 
Apple I would investigate some more important things -- for example:

I frequent the YMCA each day and attend to all their Mac's. Over the 
last two years, the YMCA has received a government grants that 
allowed them to purchase new computers -- neat huh?

However, the catch was that they purchase only windoze machines and 
not Mac's and now the YMCA is 100 percent windozes machines -- why?

At the same time that Congress was "hammering" Gates as being a 
monopoly, other parts of the government were making it a requirement 
that grants be given only IF people bought windoze machines.

Even the State Of Michigan is not exempt. TFor example, they have a 
contract with EDS which states that the State of Michigan will use 
ONLY EDS for ALL their computer consulting. That might be Okay, but 
the Governor has 250 Mac's in his department and EDS will not service 
them. And, the State of Michigan government is prohibiting from 
hiring anyone who can service Mac's. Windoze rule by decree.

It's this type of bullshit that Apple should object and investigate 
instead of underage programmers.
