If you follow one of the links in the one of the discussion threads on Slashdot, you come to this page http://www.opensecrets.org/ There's a search box on the side bar which reads "Look up an Individual Donor". Type "Microsoft" in the box and see what you get If you add up all the amounts M$ have donated to the US political arena in the last 2 years, you get more than 1.8 million dollars. No wonder the US government is sucking up to Bill! what chance has Linux got? DaZZa -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
