And though I agree with your standpoint, to a point, if I ask you, will you sign instead? I'm asking as someone who, unless Loadstone really decides to do something useful, will have no GPS undder his platform. You have Mobile Geo and you are lucky for that, however it shall be a cold day in hell I switch to Windows smart. Especially with all the incredibly um, interesting? changes they are trying to implement at this time. So, ignoring that message, which to be fair the guy did have a point, he wasn't saying it to individuals but to large organisations, please sign it. I can't ask more than that really.
