Umm, EXCUSE ME.  What about the kids he has allegedly assaulted?  I agree 
we shouldn't convict a person before he has had a fair trial in a court 
of law, BUT if the allegations are true we should me concerned about what 
he has done to the children rather what we have "lost" in the Apple // world.

Come on let's not be so short sighted and selfish to think about what WE 
have lost compared to what those kids have lost!

I have worked close to 20 years with kids who have had significant 
problems as a result of abuse, including their lives (i.e. suicide), 
sanity, trust, childhood, etc. just to name a few of their 
losses.  I hardly rate OUR loss as being anywhere close to even one of 
their losses.
