I don't see how they can hold you to this. Did they buy your Mac for you? What you do at home on your own time is your business. I suppose they do have the right to control what you post to the ENET but if you connected to COMPUSERVE from home or something like that I can't see how they can object. I'd be interested in hearing from any lawyers out there on this topic. My personal impression is that this is some kind of adhesion contract and probably unenforceable. This might be true even if it was mentioned in your employment contract. Any legal eagles out there?
