I don't see your point. The black market deals in _stolen_ goods, and property theft is frowned upon in cultures as disparate as Holland (legalized drug use and prostitution) and Saudi Arabia. "Tangible" (not Intellectual) property theft is _more_or_less_ defined the same everywhere, and that's what your original post described: "a computer whose parts you can assemble from the black market". -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://ronandheather.dhs.org:81 | | | | "(Women are) like compilers.
