farewell

To just limit the discussion to the mere hardware is narrow minded and shows the kind of attitude which leads to consider "the other" (the one which begs to differ) as an enemy or at least as an intruder. The "dont' bother us as we know what we should be talking about" attitude might be legal and understandable but is it wise? As already said here several times, computers are bits of metal and plastic. They are important for the sentiments and the feelings they managed to raise in each and everybody (and soul) of us. You keep your hardware (and I will keep mine so that I can leave it to future generations) but I will keep my principles and if this will mean I will have to do without you, then (I will be sorry but) be it. enrico -- ================================================================ Enrico Tedeschi, 54, Easthill Drive, BRIGHTON BN41 2FD, U.K. tel/fax +(0)1273 701650 (24 hours) or 0850 104725 mobile website <http://www.ndirect.co.uk/~e.tedeschi> ================================================================ visit Brighton: <http://www.brighton.co.uk/tourist/welcome.htm>
