Hello, I edited your email for my response, hope you don't mind. :)
I don't know what this DRM is, and I don't know what this involvement
with the FBI is. And I had no idea that Microsoft had stoped support for
Win98 and 98se. I knew they had stoped for 95, both A and B. Please
give me information. :) I need education. :) By email please, because I
have no net connection. Thanks. :)

Hi, while I agree with some of the things said here I would like to
add that(and I don't mean this in a bad way) America is NOT the Internet.
Laws passed in the States are not binding in other countries in regard to
the 'net (as much as they would like it to be).
The internet is, and will remain, (as long as we keep fighting those
who are trying to control it) GLOBAL. As for "circumventing" such laws
the answer is in the word you used below - "INFORMATION" If people like
us, who have a common goal (keeping the Internet free from government and
big corporation intervention) SHARE our information to help others that
is a step in the right direction.
You would be suprised how many people out there no Nothing about
Microsoft's DRM or magic lantern or a thousand and one other things that
affect them and their use of the internet ,now and in the Months to come.
I 'phoned Microsoft in Johannesberg (i live in cape town) this morning
asking why none of the newspapers in South Africa carried any stories
about their involvement with the FBI or stopping support for windows
95,98,98se,etc: or their patent for DRM, The answer i got was "we try to
keep it quiet". So as i said we must make sure that ALL this type of
information is available to everyone and take it from there. Thanks
Jack.
