I quote http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/remind Microsoft Policy Remind can be made to run under Windows if you compile it with the Cygwin tools. However, I prefer you not to do that. Microsoft is quite hostile to free software, and I'd prefer you to run Remind on a platform that is not controlled by a free-software-hostile corporation. Apple Policy Remind can be made to run under Mac OS X, but I prefer you not to do that. Apple is even more hostile than Microsoft to openness, using both technical and legal means to hobble what its customers and developers are allowed to do. If you are thinking of buying an Apple product, please don't. If you're unfortunate enough to already own Apple products, please consider switching to an open platform like Linux or FreeBSD that doesn't impose "1984"-like restrictions on your freedom. -- Henry Communication not signed with an original manual signature or an appropriately verified digital signature is not binding.
