Nah, I never did Mac development ;-)

IIRC, this change originally came from maclinux CVS (which predates Linux/m68k
CVS by several years) via email. If you wait a few hours, the original author

Alternatively, I can dig up my email archives from before 2000 to identify

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
