I have to say that I agree: At least they're doing SOMETHING.

Everybody else keeps talking about what needs to be done or how it needs to be done, but none of them actually do anything other than give it lip service.

I don't give a damn if it's Microsoft, Apple, RedHat, Cisco, or someone else that does it as long as it keeps garbage email out of my mailbox.; Posted by: James T. Kirk Posted on: 06/23/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
