Hello PJ, There are very few ways that I can directly see religion effect my life. I have to admit that I'm not a very active participant now ... but was raised in a household that went to church every Sunday. I sometimes reflect on the various things that I learned there, and have to admit that I really dislike some of the "rules" that I was taught. For example, when someone really screws me over, I'd love to really one-up them! I'd love to get even and more ... ... but that's not what I was taught. > And yet you conviently leave out this company you are so willing to > defend actually practiced this same behavior!?! Did we forget the > "Kill Phillipe" shirts worn by MSFT people (in reference to > Phillipe Kahn) during the late '80s? No ... I didn't conviently leave out anything. And no ... I don't defend the behavior (in the context of it being "right"). But I will argue against the mob-mentality, the unthinking rage. I guess that in your house, the excuse of "... but s/he hit me first!" stands up? I guess that your children (if you have some) are taught that it's ok to "Do unto others, as other have done unto you."? I don't know ... I was taught some other hard lessons. I know they are sometimes difficult to live with ... Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you. If you're going to suggest that we exact a toll on Microsoft, just make sure it's one that you would live with if exacted on you! ;-) Scott C. Lemon (P.S. You examples of pricing aren't quite on target. I still pay ~$2000 for a full PC ... same as 10 years ago. I still pay the same for a hard disk, since the "pennies per MB" are offset my the billions of bytes I'm buying. And no matter what you want to argue, Windows is a much more full featured OS, providing much more functionality, than the Windows v1.0 that I got in the early '80s. I'm getting much more for my money ...)
