Ol' Al's a populist---in other words, his "loyalty" is like a weathervane in a tornado. A consummate GovCorp professional. Like the rest of them, only more so. But he's been a Linux fan for years, so I figure he got a taste of Jaguar, smelled money on the wind, and compulsively leaped into the Apple Bandwagon drivers' seat for a buck. Or two. But the second the waves get choppy, he'll liquidate his "interest" in Apple and split like a bananna. Let's hope he doesn't take all the whipped cream with him. (Apologies to any Al fans on the list--after all, he DID win the election! Or not. We'll know in fifty years when the files are declassified! grumble, grumble...) ---DKM -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
