Re: Well do you blame them

No, Dave, some of us "roll our own" subroutines which is why the concept of incorporation of each of the pilfered devices as claims within a patented and pirated program is tantamount to a particular writer one day deciding to patent all the vowels in the alphabet.

It is rather ironic that the least innovative producer of computer software does the most to limit creativity on the parts of other creators of software while protesting to the Attorney General that any fetters on its market position would impede market innovation.

But, then, Bill is a friend of yours, right? Schoolyard kind of buddy? Like "MS is Piracy" suggests?

Bill will eventually get your lunch-money. Check with his former employees for a reference on that point.
