There are plenty of examples around Mike. They basically follow the pattern of many other big business' do do's on consumers and clients alike which, is why we have goverment departments and ministries, et al, to protect from the excesses of the commercial world who's manadates and asperations are not necessarily the same as our own. I'm happy to say I have a foot planted firmly in both camps. Cheers Murray P |

Trusted Computing has it's benefits, but it does restrict choice and freedom. Some say it will cut small businesses who can't afford to get on the 'trusted' list out of the scene. Customer lock-in also restricts choice and freedom. |

To name a few of the current/past generation: Ronald Reagan (poor chap) Maragret Thatcher Howard Hughes and to add insult to injury the Spruce Goose as well. Sadam Hussein (ask him. he's a genius) Eddie the Eagle (none soured so high or so far or hit the ground so hard, but he took it all in his stride or would that be slip) Dubya Bush (yes, they're even picking on him now) Well, the list could go on and on. Success often brings envy and contempt but, it's the nature of the beast and some is brought on by the squashed toes that have been clambered over on the way up. Cheers Murray P |
