It sounds funny, when you put it that way, but I was involved in a project a few years ago where we wanted to use CF on HP-UX and Allaire was dragging their heals about getting an HP-UX version of CF out, at one point they said they didn't even have any HP-UX boxes to work on. So we called HP (they were very hungry to be taken seriously by .coms as a server platform) and they had a server to Allaire the next morning, and before long we had our CF for HP-UX. That is a sort of simplified version of the story, but true non the less. Maybe the issue should be taken up with Apple. If they want to be taken seriously as a server platform, and I think that they are showing signs that they do, they could apply much better pressure to Macromedia to get this done then we could, or at least help make our case.
