You know, it occured to me that someone could just make a Net Bunny program and forge the posting to an unmoderated newsgroup without giving him or herself credit and it would go out and Eveready could not really sue the person becuase they would not know who they were, but ah heck i am probably getting ahead of myself, advocating something illegal, or getting out of the spirit of the day. Or something like that. Aram Adishian adishian@dorm.rutgers.edu That was my idea not that of Rutgers and heck I just suggested possibility and did not advocate it. Yes that was a run on sentence.

Well, nice idea, but even you (unknowingly?) saw the problem--the dog-cow is a trademarked item. I guess some folks at DTS could scream and threaten to strike unless Apple's lawyers let 'em release it for Dean's INIT (hint, hint! :-), but I'm not going to hold my breath.
