We're talking about opening a box that contains a clearly marked
envelope of diskettes. On the outside of the envelope are the
words, "IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY BEFORE OPENING. By opening this
sealed disk package, you indicate your acceptance of the following
Microsoft License Agreement."
Irrelevant. If I legally bought that envelope, it is already my
property. I can legally do anything with my property (including
opening the sealed disk package without agreeing to anything) that
doesn't contradict some applicable law.
IMPORTANT -- READ THIS CAREFULLY: By reading this warning, you (yes, I
mean you) are agreeing to send me $100,000 in US dollars within 7 days
of when you read this. Furthermore, by posting articles to Usenet, you
are agreeing to mail me $1000 for each article that you post, for no
reason other than that you believe everything you read.
