Amazon Boycott

["John Kominetz" <kominetz@acm.org>]

Dominus,

Thanks for the link about Amazon and the boycott.  I guess I have been
living under a rock the last few months (it's a very nice rock, really!) and
had not heard.  I just canceled an outstanding order with Amazon in the
amount of $150.

I strongly urge everybody to visit the link and consider taking action; this
kind of insanity must be stopped.  Besides, I have a bad memory and can't be
responsible for knowing what obvious things I can't do in my program because
some idiot patented it.

John
