I just received an e-mail response from my utility company. She is currently out of town, but is going to see who they are working with and let me know when she returns on Thursday. She did say that she wasn't sure they were at the point of actually talking to anyone yet. This is still a new concept for everyone... Jody

Microsoft Accused of Altering Video dailynews.yahoo.com It's all the way at the end...but it applies. In paperwork for an obscure U.S. patent awarded in August 1998 - months after the government launched its landmark antitrust case - Microsoft lawyers wrote: ''It should be understood by those skilled in the art that a Web browser, such as Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, ... is separate from the operating system.'' Boies said the government learned about the patent application over the weekend and likely would confront Allchin with the document later today. Boies noted that the filing came from the company's patent lawyers, who aren't involved in formulating its antitrust defense. ''What it shows is that when people are off doing their work, not related to this lawsuit, they know they are separate products,'' Boies said. Company spokesman Mark Murray said patent lawyers were referring to alternate versions of Microsoft's browser designed to run on rival operating systems, such as on Macintosh or Unix computers. The patent filing, involving online banking, also describes software programs asking the operating system to retrieve data from a particular Internet address - a technique Microsoft says is consistent with its notion of an Internet-savvy Windows. Anybody know anything about this?
