The only rotating thing my wife sees on her screen is the spinning
beachball on the Mac Mini I gave her for her birthday a couple of years ago
so I didn't have to mess with her Win98 machine.  She still uses Microsoft
Office 2004 for Mac, but only because my brother got it for us at the M$
employee price.

``But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the
law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other
persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at
the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without
committing a crime.'' -- Frederic Bastiat, The Law
