I bet that getting the word about MacBSD out to MacWeek/World/User and 
describign the delays from apple would get something done... I bet that 
yo're right, many people would buy macs if they knew there was a free 
native unix... (besides A/UX...) Although considerign Apple is designing 
Unix to run its new file server...
