"Collective mind"??? _What_ "collective mind"? If there's such a thing as a (human, I presume) "collective mind", then how in hell can any part of it steal from another? Or perhaps you're projecting your own inner experiences (with multiple, apparently mutually hostile personalities) onto the rest of the world? Tell you what, Klaus. If there's a collective mind of humanity, why don't you just access it and "channel" the source code of Quake II or something else you desire for free, and enter it into your computer. Or even better, something so new it's not on the market yet but that you're aware of through the collective mind. Then follow through on your philosophy and send me a copy. Then I'll follow through on my philosophy and try it, and if I like it enough to use it, I'll _buy_ it from the _real_ developers... Larry
