As strange as it might seem it was actually Bill McEwen that was talking to us at the time.  We also spoke with Jim Collas about the patents then too.

I will, I do try to live in a Gnu, "Free" (as in speech and beer) world when it comes to my computer.

One can just hope that those who "leverage" these patents aren't total arse-monkeys about it.

...hi DethKnight, remember we are not talking about a "computer."  It might be a computer on the inside, but on the outside it is a STB that hooks up to the television set like a TiVo, or a Digital Satellite Television receiver, or a GameCube...;-)  Something like that.  Maybe something better and new!  Having the Pegasos rock-steady and ready is just step #1.
