  • Symantics.. So ok the CRTC lawyers seek to block infomation then. I could go on about "free trade". How about previewing printed material or jamming RF signals. I said nothing about greed, which of course is a world wide problem.

  • I remember when I had my first start in computers out of high school. I worked on RJE systems using DEC PDP 11/05 systems. You had to go through about 15 switch sequences on the front panel for the IPL. This was followed by a card load from a high speed Documation card reader.
