Timing is everything, and for Linux it's good One of the phenomena that's clearly helping Linux develop is the enthusiasm of those self-described idealistic programmers who, having made buckets of money at companies like Apple Computer Inc. and Netscape Communications Corp., are happy to tweak Linux. They like to write code and they don't have day jobs. Apple Macintosh designer Andy Hertzfeld, who is generally credited with designing that machine's friendly software, is quietly doing Linux work. Hertzfeld is sincerely adamant about not talking to the press; not even The Gossip Columnist could break his resolve. So it's hard to know exactly what's on his mind or to say what's he doing. www7.mercurycenter.com
