  I am not including any of the previous messages, but I will quickly 
summarize them:
  1) SEA sued PKARC for the use of SEA's trademark "ARC".
  2) SEA won.
  3) SEA should not be allowed to win.
 
  This problem is also happening in the battle of Apple vs Microsoft Windows.
  I do not see the conclusion of either of these battles (Apple is going to
win by out-legalizing Microsoft) as good for the computer industry, regardless
of the computer.
  I am using an Atari 8-bit computer but this problem affects everyone who 
uses a computer rather than just the IBM owners.
  I have captured all the previous messages and rest assured you are all going
to be immortalized on BBS's around the nation.  I don't know about you but I
have had enough of this bullying.
  A more forceful letter sent to Apple (something to the effect of : even if
windows never makes it to the IBM, I won'T buy your computer if it's the only 
one in the WORLD!) along with one sent to SEA would probably do more for the
industry as a whole than even boycotting their products would.  I also, of
course, advocate boycotting their products.

  One last thing...could someone please make this series of articles go into
world-wide distribution.  I'm afraid I don't quite have this service down 
enough to do that.
