Sorry, I didn't mean to be critical of the Mac, my (poorly phrased)
thought was more along the lines of questioning whether the energy being
expended to extend VistA to other platforms might be better utilized to
extend the capabilities of VistA on the platforms on which it already
runs well.

3. Lots of developer geeks like Macs, including a number reading and
posting
to this list and very important to the community. Despite the fact I
would
like to convince them to spend their money elsewhere, they persist in
their
devotion to that expensive little half eaten apple that they use as a
fancy
terminal when it comes to VistA. ;-)
Nancy is much more diplomatic than I am.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I find the Macintosh an excellent
development environment. If you prefer some other operating system,
that's fine. I prefer the Macintosh. Others do, too. Who knows? You
might even find that a significant number of the people out there who
want to USE VistA might prefer to run Macs, too (many o them on the
desktop, but don't discount the possibility of using it as a server
platform, either). But that's another issue. I'd like to see VistA
running on the Orange, Kumquat and Pear operating systems, too, but I
have no particular interest in investing the time or money to run those
operating systems myself, at least not right now.
Oh, and in case you missed the obvious: I was asking about zeronconf on
Linux not to promote the Macintosh, but because I wanted to know if
solutions based on Bonjour could be used by installations running Linux.
