>This reminds me of the junk science which is describing global warming. Just a few years ago the same data (and even the same experts) was evidence of global cooling.

Think about this... Ice takes up more physical space than water. If all the polar ice melts we should end up with LOWER water levels. *g*

Kind of like evolutionists saying that evolution has taken 200 million years. Hmm.. Since the sun loses five (5) miles off it's diameter each day that would mean that back then the surface of the sun physically touched the Earth, or was close enough to melt the dirt and burn off all water. *g*

Like you said, bad science.

>How can anyone dtermine what something "should have" cost? Prices are set by the vendor, not averages. After all, at any price, Windows was less expensive that the Technologically superior, but little supported alternative, OS/2 WARP

Right. It's the old business of getting folks to try and prove the negative.

Oh.. The political version of this is someone saying, "I'm for clean air." Well, who isn't?!? *g*


>For the UNIX affecionados, the FREE Linux is making inroads big time, and who is going to sue who there?

Sure, but at some point the for-fee versions will take the front position. There's simply now way that people can get something for nothing.

Best,
