Thoughts? Should we boycot?
Too soon. How can I boycott vaporware? At this time all that can be done is to work to defeat those lawmakers who are proposing to make this legally required (at which time it will be too late to boycott). -- Keith

It is not too soon. Awareness is needed now. The article claims that IBM thinkpad's have included the "fritz" chip (http://www.atmel.com/atmel/acrobat/2015s.pdf) since May 2002. Intel P4 will begin to include the "features" in chips shipping in 2003. -- ¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø Karl Hiramoto <karl@hiramoto.org> Work: 978-425-2090 ext 25 Cell: 508-517-4819 Personal web page: http://karl.hiramoto.org/ Zoop Productions: http://www.zoop.org/ KTEQ Rapid City: http://www.kteq.org/ AOL IM ID = KarlH420 Yahoo_IM = karl_hiramoto ¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø Only people with names beginning with 'A' are getting mail this week (a la Microsoft)
Actually, on linux.com someone suggested that programmers organize a nation-wide walk-out in protest. I thought maybe every IT worker in the country should get sick for about a week... Completely unrealistic, but man would that be cool. Wes On Monday 21 October 2002 9:02 pm, Keith Wright wrote:

Boycott what? We run Linux. :-) The best thing you can do is make your local politicians aware of your opinion on the matter. Also, consider joining: www.eff.org -- Gary
