Chuck, I think the better analogy is that suppose your son INVENTED the game of baseball and George Stienbrenner came crying to you to complain that your son won't let him have the TV rights for free. The remedy for THAT has as its last line, "....and the camel you rode in on." :))

<< REMEDIES >> All caps none the less. Care to tell me what MSFT did? Did they commit a capital offense like striking some little girl with a bat? No they did not. Go ahead, list their so called offenses. They are very minor. They own the IP for important products in the PC industry. That gives them leverage within that industry. They used the leverage to a VERY modest extent, which is EXACTLY what SUNW, AOL, ORCL do EVERY chance they get. I expect that at this time SUNW and AOL would use leverage of this type with a vengence. They would crush the consumer given a single tiny opening. IMO, Dave
