>>Yes, the next generation of PCs and Macs will have DRM cripplecrap in them. Hey, who needs WIPO, Congress and the U.N. to mandate copyright craziness, when Intel is glad to put the mess right in the hardware.<<

The answer, of course, is support for an alternative -- might I suggest my Personal Digital Multimedia ScrapBook, PDMSB. I do video, audio, photo, etc -- using DirectX 9.0. I DO NOT do Windows Media Files and, given some support, will never do WMF, DRM or any other type of cripplecrap. Intel may put it on the chip; however, nothing is forcing an application to use it, yet.

Doc, You expend an awful lot of energy telling us how you got the net and how you are going to keep it, too. However, it's all just wishful thinking, without a plan.

Are you ready to talk, seriously??
