    Dear Mac users,

    We're very sorry that unenlightened members of our organization have ported this abomination to your platform. I'm quite sure that you understand that large organizations often have rogue elements working against the organization's best interests from the inside. I assure you that we're working tirelessly to end the Java scourge. In the meantime, we offer our most sincere apologies not only to the Mac community, but to everyone who has been forced to use a Java application throughout history. Hopefully, with your help, we can cleanse the world of Java and make computing a more enjoyable experience for all.

    Thank you for your time,

    Sun Microsystems
