Has anyone checked the Cox EULA to see if they are giving themselves the right to muck with subscriber's computers? Obviously, those of us who have any MS software have signed away our rights -- MS can even go so far as to disable our computers if it feels offended. To have the cable provider assume such rights would certainly be moving us in a very bad direction. Another reason to be so happy I use a Mac. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
