I was not as though I were an MS franchise. They imposed this extortion well into my business's life. My choice was comply or go out of business. It was not as if I had a choice of sell Hondas or sell Kias if I did like the franchise deal. To my way of thinking what MS did was similar to a the only magasine wholesaler in town telling retailers it had to sell kiddie porn under the table or pay full retail for all magazines. I broke my own ethical code rather than go out of business. I will never forgive MS for putting me in that position. -- Canadian Mind Products, Roedy Green. http://mindprod.com Again taking new Java programming contracts. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
