Now if we could only get this message through to Apple's high level
management.  Apple's high level management makes the decisions
about the future of such projects, so unless they understand that:

	1. Dylan is not a "turkey".
	2. There could be a lot of interest in Dylan if it was 
           developed properly.
	3. Java is not the Holy language.
	4. Integration of Dylan with other technologies such as OpenDoc 
	   and the www is important for it to succeed.
	5. Dylan has enough performance potential that it could eventually
           be used for Apple's own projects.  
        6. 1996 is the year of the garbage collector. :)

Hmmm... I wonder if a petition would help?
