The lines you have above were written by someone else (Mohan somebody-or-other, I believe.) Get your facts right, and stop quoting people you don't mean to quote. ie. Learn to use your editor correctly. What I said was that Apple has every right to sue Microsoft for what's theirs. Mohan somebody-or-other, incorrectly I gather, stated the above, (what you say I said). Maybe I should sue you for mis-quoting me in public. Maybe Mohan somebody-or- other should sue you for taking a piece of his article (which he automatically has copyright for in Canada) and not giving him any credit!! :-)) --Raj ----- Disclaimer: I'm just an undergrad. ----- Email address: sarathy@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu -- NOT what's above
