For some reason, they just don't want a household like mine (one without a proprietary OS in it) to watch their movies on our computers. If they make it illegal for us to watch them, why would we buy them? It just doesn't add up. ...But it probably does add up for Congress. Of course, in that case, what's adding up is the Hollywood lobbyists' "donations" in their pockets... good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- If Haydn had patented "a symphony, characterised by that sound is produced [ in extended sonata form ]", Mozart would have been in trouble. http://swpat.ffii.org
