Re: my opinion that AT & T might be "extending, and supporting, an already existing monopoly." I guess the fact that some would interpret it as not, and some would, is the reason why it took so long for them to decide whether MS had a monopoly and what to do about it and that is why lawyers make money - because the situation is not always so cut and dried. I know nothing is going to be done about it, but some days the pain factor affects my ability to withstand simple aggravations....<sigh> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
