>>PS- please give me some brief highlights of the reno thing, I don't have time to look it up.<< Janet Reno is the attorney general of the United States. Her department sued Microsoft. Microsoft lost the case. There was a major ruling yesterday. Everyone is pissed at Janet Reno. Hard to believe you haven't heard about this.
