...without any real comment on the phenomena of the worlds largest software maker feeling the need to advertise a third party product (an >HP computer I believe in this case)

Presumably HP outbid Dell or Eric's Homebuilt Computers for the slot (I wasn't asked). ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
