I know what you mean Julian. I spent the 90's in blind faith, until I saw the documents I've seen which are under court seal right now. Believe me, as billg said it once in a tape I have which is public "I can tell you as one of the big guys it's a dangerous world out there". Go figure what that means...nuff about that though off topic for this list...but I did do everything suggested in Matt's e-mail; maybe try safe mode. I just noticed Matt is well mentioned in the book I'm reading; nice to deal with a company with good people with some ethics and true innovation versus hey come to "partners in innovation" so we can patent your ideas before they go to the public, and then we'll do worse to you later personally (as in covert).
