All,

Are we still in Kansas, Toto?  Is this still April Fool's Month?
I live 5 miles from Apple's HQ -- yet I know nothing (hmmm).

Based on reading various Mac sites and related comments, I'm guessing that
at Apple's World-Wide Developer conference in June --
Apple will announce a branch of Xcode that makes Windows applications.
Just think of the support possibilities!

The only thing better would be for Apple to license Mac OS for many PCs.
I guess I'm speaking to those who prefer compensation for their programming.
Anyway, it's worth sticking around a few months for another Apple SURPRISE.

Cheers,

John Grimsley
