But why stop only at Hardware and Software Ban Lists. Why shouldn't the Govt ban all but one model of car (Ambassador) and scooter (Bajaj)? And one ISP only, please. And once we are rid of Microsoft, I think we should also ban Ubuntu and Fedora. Debian, pure and simple, the One True GNU/Linux. Any pals of Atul Chitnis around, who remember when there was a Govt list of what modems we could connect to phone lines? The problem with a benevolent dictatorship is that the dictator gets to decide who is benevolent to. And the Govt Department might be nicer (or more amenable) to Mr Gates, than to Mr Sisodiya. -- Sanjeev Gupta +65 98551208 http://www.linkedin.com/in/ghane
