In fact, on the whole both it and its sister Compugram (daily) are not bad publications. Note that they are very timely: they were the first people to report this stuff (this wasn't the first time they mentioned it - I found out about the suit from Unigram-X, not from the net). I have learnt to skip Maureen O'Gara's viewpoint of the world a long time ago, but maybe she's not alone in her views. After all, she's been working for both publications for at least a couple of years. It would be short-sighted to think everybody thinks the way we do, and maybe this viewpoint is just a rather extreme complement of what the average hacker thinks of `suits'. -- Greg Lehey | Tel: +49-6637-1488 LEMIS | Fax: +49-6637-1489 Schellnhausen 2, W-6324 Feldatal, Germany *** NOTE ***: Headers are mangled - reply to grog%lemis@Germany.EU.net
