Decide differently regardless of what is written? (Loses a lot in translation). How about Res judicata? Let it rest, it has already been adjudicated. [Obviously I'm not a lawyer, I've just had too much fun dealing with court systems.] Again, the problem is, all the consent decrees have expired (US and EU). So it would have to be argued again in the courts. And I guess that is exactly where IBM wants it, because now they can argue that they are not in control of a large share of the computer market. <bigot> That's assuming you call the tinker toys computers <\bigot> ;-) Later, Steve Thompson ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
