This is supposed to have a legal basis?
Duncan, it's even easier. Here ya go:
1. Buy a copy of Windows 95.
2. Install it on a machine.
3. Install it on a second machine.
There, SPA: you can now go sue every ISP from which every reader of
this list obtains their mail. They have just published information=20
on how to pirate Windows '95.
