That's exactly the point. If I can't have "full freedom" for technical reasons (and I assume the restriction was done for technical reasons, and not to deliberately take away my freedom), then I want to have at least as much freedom as possible. Partial freedom, IMHO, is still better than no freedom at all. I could of course refuse to buy any toaster with proprietary software in it. But as soon as you replace "toaster" by "washing machine", I would get in serious fights with my wife ;-) Thanks, Reinhard
