- We've unoffically talked to Apple a couple times in the past, but we
- haven't sent any copies of Executor to them in a long time. We'll be
- doing that soon, after beta1 is released (hopefully beta1 will be made
- this weekend).

- I think an Apple and ARDI alliance will happen eventually. I think
- it's silly for Apple to continue ignoring the PC market. If their PPC
- machines wind up having excellent price/performance ratios then having
- a limited version of their OS on non-PPC machines makes a good lure to
- attract people to their hardware. If the PPC machines lose the
- price/performance edge then having a good head start on putting their
- OS on other platforms is worthwhile. win/win.

- I'll try to keep everyone as informed as possible. I would guess that
- once we start formally talking to Apple that the first thing we'll
- wind up doing is signing a non-disclosure agreement.
