And if companies are allowed to behave this way (because of your 'nice,fatalistic' argument), this will never change. Showing companies that you don't excuse such behavior would include not buying there products, using other products, whatever. To say that they are just playing the evil part that somebody *has* to play, is to excuse their behavior, IMO. ++ Eike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
