Well, I thought you are denying it without nowing about it, not with direct

are not the kind of guy, who restricts availability :)

Well, I have only seen an error message, when directly going to the page, and
then I have seen, that when I went to the page from your index, it worked. It
was a strange thing...

Yes, you do a great work, and a lot of people are running PHP on MacOS (latest
books on PHP include setup instructions for MacOS too ;).
