Re: apple prevented freebsd on apple hardware?

paul beard, there was really no reason to be sarcastic about this.
your kind of mentality usually leads on to vitriolic comments, which
erupt into flame-wars.
please ensure that your personality is kept out of the way of answering
queries from those who are not as well entrenched in freebsd as you are.

also, i issued that query because i had once asked a similar question
on this list around 10~15 years back, and did not remember the response.

please avoid turning a freebsd mailing list into the cesspool of openbsd
lists.

best regards.
