Before any violence occurs, perhaps the IPIX people have due cause; and
remember with United Economic Europe it's all under the same codes.  Why run
and hide, unless you support off shore banking and forreging fine art.

My suspicion is that this company was bought out and the new owners are
tracing the use, trying to determine the controllability of their product, a
patent, and have begun to attack users to build a defence for future
infringement.

This is silly, because if this is the cas, they have very poor legal advice.

Now, since the founder of Word Perfect named the product based on his first
patent claim, "Keyboard to screen, computer use 'word perfect.'"

Now, we all are typing directly to the screen, so I want everybody replying
to this email, keyboard to the screen, please send me a cent or phenning a
letter; for I claim the flame in the name of ...
