My fellow Cypherpunks, I found this link about WinXP SP1 . SP stands for "service pack". The article tells of some nasty goodies that MicroSoft has included in it. The 2nd link has more info.. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/26911.html http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/26698.html You know, sometime we are going to have to abandon MS. I've already got a dual booting system: MS and Red Hat Linux. I am slowly migrating functions to Linux. The (GNU) Linux's and the free BSD's are good alternatives to MS. If you can't live without MS, then make your computer system dual booting. Also, dual booting will allow you to make a fairly easy migration to a DECENT operating system . MS is getting more and more oppressive. Yours Truly, Gary Jeffers BEAT STATE!!!!
