Kapor, who left the management of Lotus Development Corp. some years ago, is currently the president of On Technology. He has publicly opposed the outcome of the Lotus/Paperback Software lawsuit, and opposes Lotus's decision to sue Borland as well. It takes minimal research to uncover this information, Major. When you choose to flame someone, take pains to get your facts right. I was flown to Washington D.C. this week by Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility to attend the press conference announcing the Electronic Frontier Foundation, as well as other meetings relating to the current government crackdown on so-called "hackers." Kapor remarked at several of these meetings that he regarded the Lotus/Paperback lawsuit as setting a bad precedent. --Mike Mike Godwin, UT Law School |"... and first I put my arms around him yes Just another bar-exam nerd | and drew him down to me so he could feel my mnemonic@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu | breasts all perfume yes and his heart was (512) 346-4190 | going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes."
