Man it is people like this that is hindering technology. If you dont know
how it works dont get involved. How can you logically point blame to
someone or something if you do not know what it is your are really blaming
them for in the first place. Most of these lawyers, havent the faintest
clue about computers. I have several firms as clients and not one of them
knows how to use a computer. Sure they only use Wordperfect, and none of
them want word. But that still doesnt give them a clue.
And to top it off it is government people that are making those decisions.
Honestly some New York democrat is the last person in the world I would
want to make decisions about technology. They are supposed to make
decisions on what the people want, not on what they think they can make a
quick buck on.
I sit back and watch my computing freedom slowly get stripped away, as
these kinds of people rip more and more things from underneith us. Things
like DVD's, I never did like the zone thing with DVD's, I mean what are
they protecting? VHS wasnt protected like that, I could buy one from
japan, and watch it in and VHS player. It is sad to see the government
thinking this is what the people wants.

Now am I off base with this thought? Or does other people here agree?
