Subject: Mac for the axe

It's been suggested that chopping up a Macintosh with an axe
might be an impressive part of a demonstration protesting Apple's
lawsuit.

Does anyone have a Mac to give to the axe?

I've heard that a lot of you are unhappy with your company's look and
feel suit, and that you can't quit in protest!

Here's an idea:

Circulate an internal petition protesting the suit.  Only Apple
Employees can sign.  Arrange a meeting with your company's executive
committee.  Present it to them.  Tell them how many of the employees
are unhappy.  Tell them why Apple should drop the suit.  Tell them to
drop the suit.

Needn't publicize it outside, though you can let your friends know
that you took a stand!

And, if Apple is as wonderful a company as it's made out to be, you'll be
respected, not harrassed, for your position.

Non-Apple Employees:

Make sure your friends who work for Apple get a copy of this!

thanx -len

Many people seem not to have received my previous message, so I think
I should state it again.

There is a plan to file an amicus brief in the Apple case.  Andy
Hertzfeld, one of the principal developers of the Macintosh software,
is probably going to sponsor it.

Once the League for Programming Freedom is organized, it may also file
briefs in this case and others.  The more members the League has, the
more weight the brief may carry.  I'll send membership information once
it is worked out.
