No computers are more like cars. The Information Highway is just as
dangerous as regular highways.

Interesting article, and so is Amendment 1 of the Bill of Rights.

How about the billions of dollars lost by businesses due to a virus, spam,
etc. Total value of losses far exceed the damage caused by auto accidents.

You might feel differently if you lost someone close in an auto accident.

There are computer stores that rely on 'computer idiocy' to add to company
profits by way of repair charges.. It hurts to think of the effect on
profits that a Computer licensing scheme would have.. addition made to Bill
of Rights, First Amendment, circa 1992.. that all free American computer
technicians will have the right to charge extortionate amounts to remove the
diskette from the floppy drive that stopped the pc from booting to its OS,
while telling the customer of all the errors they had to overcome to return
the pc to the working level when first purchased.. lol

non-school sessions for lots of stuff from horseback
riding to finding romanatic places in dallas. lots of
classes on computersand lots of people took these and we
learned good stuff. sadlyit is closed but i notice it

The Bill of Rights has never been amended. You meant
Amendment 1 of the Constitution, or Article 1 of the Bill
of Rights.
