Has anyone ever noticed how much a GM looks and feels like a Ford? There's the makings of a big lawsuit there . . . If GM comes out with a new kind of airbag, does that mean Ford can't use anything like it? If SoftShop comes out with a new means of making sure computer operators do not make horrible errors, does that mean FirmWarehouse can't come out with something similar? Who has the right to withhold The Answer? No one. -- Barry Schwartz, Chief SAPsucker bbs@cdspr.rutgers.edu Grad Student, Dept. of Elec. and Comp.
