Which droid unleashed That one?) Here's a Deusy: It would be inimical to the purpose of the Sherman Act to allow monopolists.. to squash nascent, albeit unproven, competitors at will.. particularly in industries marked by rapid technological advance and frequent paradigm shifts. !! Paradigm shifts reaches the judiciary !! Who Got It, too. Well.. if he really did read all 39K words - maybe I can too. Sometime. Bet: As the new stuff gets filtered in for consideration too: Passport, .NET, Hail Storm, Media-player, Smart-ass Tags, SDK - "no OS tools" yada - they want to settle but more - they want to delay = on to USSC. May they rot in Hell in my lifetime, A.

Often I find its the color selection, so you can't see exactly what you're selecting, but you can still cut and paste. Addison

Post #1,286 by admin 7/10/01 10:14:02 AM Reply	Vindicated in one fashion only Since the Appellate court, for the most part, agreed with Jackson. IOW, Merlin can't use Jackson as a convenient scapegoat for the guilty ruling any longer. Regards, -scott anderson

Then we'd have to spend the next 3 months suffering through USA Today articles showing why he's right. He just doesn't get it. Um...er...well... I have no choice!

Love that line, make perfectly clear just how absurd Microsofts legal defense was. Jay
