OK everyone....<br>
<br>
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!<br>
<br>
I, for one, am sick of the ENTIRE thread. I feel sure that others are, too.<br>
<br>
however, I would like to add a few points.... <br>
<br>
<br>
1) in reference to e-mail formats... every single one of my e-mails is
dual formatted, so if you have a HTML mail client great... you get to see
the pretty stuff... if not too bad, but you CAN still read it quite happily.
and I DO NOT GIVE A DAMN about e-mail formats or ANY discussions regarding
the pros and cons of different formats. I have not had a single complaint
about my e-mails being unreadable, so.... if it ain't broke dont fix it....<br>
<br>
2) to Shaun, John Teh has NO OFFICIAL role in MW, as a current committe
member, I would know if he did.<br>
<br>
3) to John Teh, I like about 99.9% of the rest of the list don't want
to hear petty bickering and poorly constructed, negative criticism of anyone
on this list. If Shaun wishes to advertise some equipment that is up to him,
especially as the equipment in question is ideal for a small router node
or similar purpose. If you do not have CONSTRUCTIVE advice or comments to
offer, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. If you have a GENUINE concern of the legality
of anything that is for sale, ask POLITELY, OFF LIST, and i feel sure that
your question will be answered in kind. No one is above critisism, but some
of the comments that you have offered today are simply derogatory and nasty,
not to mention implying a large amount of dishonesty on Shauns part. None
of these actions are, or will ever be condoned by MW. <br>
<br>
4) to Shaun, a small suggestion, next time you advertise a system (should
you desire to) please include comments about the OS (i.e. OEM etc)<br>
<br>
5) To all who raised questions on MS licencing issues. MS Licences ARE
transferable, under certain circumstances. Go read your licence agreements
REALLY carefully and you will find a section entitled "SOFTWARE TRANSFER",
it reads:<br>
<br>
"You may permanently transfer all of your rights under this EULA only as
part of a sale or transfer of HARDWARE, provided you retain no copies, you
transfer all of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT (including all component parts, the
media and printer materails and upgrades, this EULA and if applicable, the
Certificate(s) of Authenticity), and the recipient agrees to the terms of
the EULA. If the SOFTWARE PRODUCT is an upgrade, and transfer must include
all prior versions fo the SOFTWARE PRODUCT."<br>
<br>
Capitalisation as per the document. This came from a current Win 98 EULA,
the Win ME, WinNT , W2K and WinXP EULA's all contain the same clause. Of
course, in the next paragraph of the EULA, MS goes on to state that it reserves
the right to terminate and any all rights to use the software at it's discretion
IF you fail to adhere to the EULA.<br>
