Excuse me!  I deliberately brought this up to the entire list.  As would
any SUN user, or DEC user or AIX user or HP user.  If you choose to put
URLs to proprietary product on a list, you can expect to have complaints
published to that same list.

The internet is an OPEN forum.  Get USED to the concept of a TWO-WAY
dialogue.

I have posted many articles about the nature of the internet, and the 
nature of the Internet user community.  The infrastructure was defined by 
volunteer efforts of come of the top professionals in the world.  The
attempt of a few selfish individuals to "TAKE OWNERSHIP" of this 
contributed structure is the ultimate offront.  If you want to pay 
Microsoft royalties, then I can give you a list of 20 companies and 
universities who deserve the same compensation.  The bill would be around 
$200 Million dollars.  And that's just your share.
