Good point. I was thinking of code we PAY for. Sure, we have plenty to work
with--I see that.
I was only thinking maybe what was once a "good thing" is now a "bad
thing". That's all.

It's like, well like this: "Toto, it looks like we're not in Kansas anymore."
Like we're warped out into cyberspace.

Oh, we can live with it.
I'll just say one thing more and I promise to shut up.
If I were Bill Gates or somebody like that I would be glad to have some
hacker write me and say, "I just looked into your Windows code and did this
....... and this...... and it fixed the problem. Try it."

Silence,

Ralph
