Well, I've just bet several thousand dollars (the production costs for
Issue 1 of The Darwin Collection - http://www.ptf.com/tdc) and a fair
amount of my copious free time that they will continue to encourage
Unix-oriented activity for some time to come, so I'll pass on your
gracious offer (:-).

The Developer Tool CD contains a variety of items, ranging from BSD and
GNU tools and libraries to things like Interface Builder and Project
Builder.  The former will be supplied by assorted Apple followers, but
the latter can only be supplied by Apple itself.  Here's hoping that
Apple realizes that their future market share is critically dependent
on attracting a broad and deep new set of developers, including folks
who simply won't pay big bucks to play with Apple's development tools.
