You'd lose that wager, I'd wager. ;-) I'm quite sure that both, John Sculley, and Roel Pieper have heard of Richard Stallman, the GNU project, and the League for Programming Freedom. Whether or not they consider these things to be significant in any way is a different question, but any executive worth their salt would at least get some information about a group, however small, that is taking political action against their organization. They may have taken a brief look and decided that the LPF wasn't a threat, but but it's practically impossible that they are blind to the _existence_ of the LPF and FSF. Only IBM could be _that_ moronic. 8-) -- Jurgen Botz | Internet: JBotz@mtholyoke.edu Academic Systems Consultant | Bitnet: JBotz@mhc.bitnet Mount Holyoke College | Voice: (US) 413-538-2375 (daytime) South Hadley, MA, USA | Snail Mail: J.
