It is one of those damned if you do and damned if you don't situations. I'm sure most of us have read of patent trolls' attempts to plunder corporations over their supposed intellectual property. If Apple did not send out notices like this they would be deluged with junk mail with "product ideas" from trolls and every new product Apple introduced would start a flurry of IP suits. On the other hand, letting their own lawyers run amuck is going to be damaging to any company's reputation. This is especially bad when the company doing it is so well loved by its customers. ************************************************************************ * ==> 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?
