These people are devoting a lot of time and effort into a basically free
resource and I think they should be free to chose which platform they wish
to implement it on! Do PC owners bitch every time freeware is released for
the MAC only. Well yes, but these are ungrateful spoiled PC owners.
(thankfully a very small minority of us)
This doesn't pertain to this poster, but it is also not very cool to be
pushy about completion time of FARGO. These would be the same people to
flame the software if it was rushed to completion and had bugs. Good
manners is being patient while waiting for a free gift! If I was in the
middle of a project and got this type of abuse, I would be pissed off!!!!
Besides: The only good MAC is a Big-MAC. :-)
