If you think you can direct the development of human behaviour by not buying a Microsoft product, be my guest. I rather waste my time on other things. I think your "this will never change" is wrong, but it certainly will not change in my lifetime, and I doubt if this kind of human behaviour is going to change in many centuries to come. -- John Small Perl scripts: http://johnbokma.com/perl/ Perl programmer available: http://castleamber.com/ I ploink googlegroups.com :-) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
