Rant/

Well, I for one think the lawsuit is a crock of caca. Microsoft came up with a better mousetrap and other companies are jealous and felt the need to waste our tax dollars and our precious court system to sue a big company. I would no sooner try to collect from them than take money from another member here. I think it is wrong and a bunch of crap. I am so sick of people trying to sue because they feel they were treated unfailry. The product was not defective, it did what it was supposed to do and half of the people I know never paid for any of the software they use anyway. Its like this, you come up with an idea that makes billions of dollars and some guy who is jealous because he didnt think of it decides to sue you and take it away from you. Everybody trying to get something for nothing. Greedy people will be the fall of our economy I can promise you this. Like the union people that want more money for what they do. The average longshoreman makes about 96k a year and they have the best benefits money can buy and they keep asking for more. Thats all fine and dandy, the shipping companies have to charge more for shipping so they pass that on to their customers who pass it on to you and so on. So when you go to the store and see that something that used to only cost $3.00 is now 8 or 10 bucks, you know why. Its a viscious cycle that is growing exponentially. It wont be long till everything crashes down hard. I think it will be in my lifetime too. You heard it here first! Mark my words.
