I think it is time to start considering our rights as a windows 3.x community in the face of the undue influence microsoft is having over the future of our computer use. I think we should begin considering a legal action that will seek to reveal the technical specifications to wich our windows software was written so that we may maintain alternative versions should we so choose. Given that the version of windows that I am running reports itself to have been finalized in november of 1993, Microsoft has no valid claims for continuing to conseal this important information as it is not of any further commercial value to them except as a lever to force us to move to their next generation of rented software. =( -- People who work on computers use linux; People who work on life use Macintosh =) http://users.erols.com/alangrimes/ <my website.
