	And I thought this mish-mash with Pixar was ridiculous!  The world
is going positively looney.

	Dave, you ought to consider moving to California.  As I understand
it, employers here cannot claim title to anything you invent outside of the
workplace, on your own time, using non-company equipment.  (No legal
battles, please.  If I'm wrong and you wish to correct me, you know where my
mailbox is.)

	Now then, if history repeats itself, Richard Sexton, Keith Doyle,
and Kent Dolan (The Man from Xanth) will start boycotting DEC as well......
:-) :-) :-)
