Indeed. All EULAs have a disclaimer like that -- when was the last time someone successfully sued Symantec or MS because a virus tweaked a bit or 10 (or is that 1010 -- 1011 after the virus ;) )? There was a story the other day about a Windows 2000 patch causing data corruption on compressed filesystems -- no one sued because they have no legal ground. At that point molotov cocktails may come into play in the place of pies ;) By the way, the hotfix for the above problem can corrupt data on NTFS....wheres my ext3? Ahhh, that's better. No warranty - bah, I know it works well :P Nick _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
