[OpenAFS] OpenAFS with Mac OS X

[Thomas Vincent]

When I was at Apple I pounded the hell out of those guys. People at 
Apple want to do the right thing, but sometimes getting them to realize 
what the right thing is, is eaiser said then done. A lot of people need 
to email Avie. Gavin at UMICH as influential and respected as he is, 
wont do it. Right now, product marketing sees AFS as a higher education 
only deal. People outside higher education at the Federal and corporate 
levels need to email Avie, and anyone else they can think of and 
campaign for this. There are people at Apple who want it. They need to 
justify it to upper managment though. Plus, when I was there, there was 
some degree of bashing of AFS, by the AFP guys. That didn't help either.

Cheers,
