Edmund, I've been an enthusiastic reader of The Register at various times in the past. It is one of the few websites that make me laugh out loud while reading articles (www.theonion.com is the other). Brits have a special gift for biting satirical criticism. But not only that, the tech industry coverage is excellent. I appreciate The Register's willingness to pull no punches and that it does not cater to special interests here in the US. And, they are free software friendly.
I agree, it has been covering the M$ trial more thoroughly than any US news source I can think of. This is due, I assume, to the fact that they won't lose any advertising dollars from M$ for reporting it like they see it. For BRLUGers who are not familiar with The Register: http://www.theregister.com Highly recommended. John Hebert PS: is the URL "www.theregus.com" a tip of the hat to John Fowles? :) --- Edmund Cramp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > For those of you interested - the british on-line > computer news magagine > "The Register" is providing some superb coverage of > the States vs Microsoft > case.
