After all, it can "process information"? My Adept robot, which can also download digital information (altough getting it to play MP3 files would be difficult.....) Tony

I want to know just what a legislator costs these days. No representative serving his constitiuents could possibly put his name to this bill. This bill is a total sellout - there isn't even a "fair use" clause for librarians, researchers, critics, or for personal use by the purchaser. DISCLAIMER: I have never downloaded entertainment content from any service, Napster or otherwise. I own a few music CDs in their original packaging, and have the receipts for their purchase. I own no DVDs or video tapes, nor do I have the equipment to play them or duplicate them, nor do I even own a TV, but I recognize a sellout when I see one. Either that or you are an idiot and believed everything the told you. In either case you should not be holding public office. Andrew Grygus www.aaxnet.com [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

It's just a stat count one cut above form letters. I don't know how much more diplomatic I can be on paper though, in this case - but I'll try. [link\|http://www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]
