BTW, I find it amusing the way the Sherman Act and other anti-trust statutes are viewed by some on this thread. These obscene pieces of statist crap are treated with almost reverential awe. Well, I'd be tempted to apply the "obscene piece of crap" characterization to a certain piece of software whose integrity and uniformity is considered important by some, but I hear the next version is supposed to suck less. I also hear the "obscene" part is supposed to be a big part of the appeal the works of a certain novelist cum philosopher have for callow young minds, enough to overcome a prose style many consider somewhere in the "crap" neighborhood. I couldn't say, though. As for the statist part, I still got that open challenge to the "Who is John Galt" crowd, where do you (and Bill) want to go today? Bahamas, with that capitalism.org guy? Good luck getting those all important intellectual property rights enforced here, if Bill followed that path. Otherwise, the process for getting laws repealed or changed is clear. Some think those who whine about things but don't try to change them are crybabies, but who can say? Cheers, Dan.

James, >>Of course, if and when the govt succeeds in jamming a wrench in the Wintel machine, the populace may become slightly more aroused. The consequences will extend far beyond "punishing the evil monopolists". Which wrench would that be exactly? We could run with Windows95 for the next ten years and the consumer would not know the difference. Once again the future is filled with vague figments of doom-filled consequences brought on by some phantom army of fascists. If you could at least support the fall of Free America with a quote from Rasputin or Nostradamus it might impress a few more people. >>These obscene pieces of statist crap are treated with almost reverential awe. And the paranoid extrapolations of the doom-sayers is somehow more coherent in its logic than Federal Laws? It is fairly easy to expatriate this land of unfairness, yet you people remain despite the oppression and worsening conditions. Take it easy, Norm
