Welcome to hell ben. I watched a friend of mine get robbed of a million
dollar efficiency award from the USAF because of the company that designed
the broken box 'suddenly had 3 years of work on the fix' that hadn't existed
until the day my friend's fix was filed. Remember...corporations *only*
exist to make money, and if Netscape can make a buck for AOL's stockholder's
by inconveniencing you, me or anyone else, they will.
