Now *THAT* would be COOL!
The death of the ANS program was yet another slap in the face of us
long-term Apple customers. Apple has placed its toe in the UNIX & High-end
server market so many times only to orphan those of us who took the dive
with them (A/UX, AWS95, PowerOpen, PINK, ANS/AIX, and now Rhapsody,
OSX-server <what a *dumb* product name!>, etc not to mention the MacOS
products that never were delivered/developed - too many to mention here).
To bring an orphaned product back into the fold and giving it a future
would be a nice gesture, not to mention extending the life of a truly
well-engineered bit of hardware (IMHO probably the best ever along with the
1st Mac, the iMac and the IIci... though in a separate league altogether.)
My 2 cents.
