[plug] schoolbays

[John Breen]

As an M$ ORM partner and Direct Access member, I think there's something
in all the doco I had to sign that says I MUST put my hand up when
someone says "hands up all those who trust M$".

You will note, please, that my hand is firmly by my side...

Cheers,


John

	Hello John,

	All noted, thank you.

	I applied for a hotmail account as Ned Kelly and got knocked
back because
	someone else had it.  I tried Ed Kelly and found 35 others in
front of me
	with that name.

	Once we settled on a name I logged in and was prompty told that
I had to
	enable cookies before they would give me access.  Those pri*ks
are
	unbelievable.

	There was a good article somewhere on linuxtoday or slashdot
saying how
	the last thing one expects from an OS is that it is used by the
authors to
	spy on the customer.  I think so too.

	Hands up all those who trust M$.

	Lindsay
