+-------[ Oleg Broytmann ]---------------------- | Hello! | | IANAL, but this IBM patent looks suspicious: | http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=/net... I look forward to the patent violation suit against Microsoft w.r.t. to Frontpage. d8) There are some bizarre unenforcable patents out there if you look hard enough. Microsoft apparently holds a patent on transferring data across a bus from a device to memory. The fact this was happening before Microsoft existed didn't stop them from getting a patent. -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 | Carpe Daemon PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au|
