I repeat that I'd love to keep Milton's dream alive at no cost, and all sales go to him (he still  has to keep the PayPal acct  , as i want nothing to do with that), I'd just do the licensing and any questions that I can. I would also refer new users to this group. 

I'm serious about this. I have the the to do it. 

I don't want Milton to have to now out like this.

I know there is a lot of disappointment from AstroIIDC users now that  

the end has come into sight but please bear in mind that Milton is  

probably suffering more than all of us combined.  I think we all  

recognize that this piece of code transcends a mere business for him,  

it's a true labour of love and a significant part of his life.  It has  

allowed all of us to establish a brotherhood of Mac/Apple centric  

astroimaging.  I've been a true Apple supporter from the very  

beginning and still have my 2nd Apple (an Apple //e) and it's  

loyalists like us that kept Apple alive in the not too distant dark  

days.  However Apple no longer needs our support as evidenced by their  

success in pursuing the consumer gadget market.

And that's sad because the original Apple dream is dying, just as Milton's.

So instead of vitriol let's salute Milton for leading our small band  

of brothers and our stance against the conformity of Windows imaging  

these past few years.

Milton, we'll miss you and you've made a real difference in the world.  

And that's the highest accolade any man can aspire to.

Jim
