I agree...and when you begin to show respect for your enemy then you tend
to drop your guard. That's what happened to Neville Chamberlain.
Understand your enemy....yes....respect for a comapny that's trying
to destory all competition and dominate the computer industry at the
expense of its customers...hell no. Respect is something you would have
for Louis Pasteur or Jonas Salk.
