I allways wondered how all these polititians get their computer-related ideas from. He must have received a nice checque from MS to come up with that proposal.

Good luck guys in your fight against Goliat. * Don Wilde [2002-04-11 08:51:10 -0600]: > Hey, guys - > > Are all US BSDers aware of the critical threat to our OSS?
