You should look at Linux or Mac so you can regain the use of your
computer. You should own your computer and not vis-versa!

Here is the webpage in plain ASCII text with a link to the FCC website.
Please, making a comment will only take a few minutes.

/**********************************************/


The FCC has extended the comment period for BPL. If you value radio, this
may be the last and only chance to have your voice heard to stop BPL from
destroying your hobby. The FCC has extended the comment period for BPL.

It is VERY simple to file a FCC comment. Click the link below and enter

04-37

in box #1 (proceeding number) and fill in the blanks. The simplest way to
comment is to type your comment into the box on the bottom of the form.
Sample comment below.

If you see fit, please post this to as many portent groups as possible
because numbers count!

More info at http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2004/02/12/5/?nc=1

If you can't think of any thing to type or wish to make this as painless
as possible, you can cut-n-paste the comment I typed below.

/******************************/

In Writing, I wish to persuade the FCC from allowing BPL to be
implemented. The destruction or at the least, deterioration of the
shortwave bands is not only a violation of ITU laws that protect
international broadcasters from interference and jamming, it will be
destroying many people's life hobby. Amateur radio will be reduced to
users with high-power amplifiers and large antennas. Emergency
communications will be hindered to levels directly responsible for the
loss of life. Also, this will hinder military HF comms reducing national
security

There are many technologies that make BPL unnecessary. BPL will never be
able to carry the high bandwidth demands for mass distribution of video
much less the up-and-coming HDTV.

Thank You!

Nahhh, let 'em all feel superior due to their "installed user base".
While the whole time they spend more and more of their efforts and
energy fighting off their inferior OS's security holes, we that use the
"non-standard" systems can simply do our work and play.

Let's not start this again, let's argue about something important,
like Morse code. Ain't enuff of you Apple Suckers and Penguin Pluckers
to be worth arguing with.

We need a new O/S, just for ham radio. We could call it Macnix. The
logo could be a roasted penguin with an apple in his mouth. And there
wouldn't be any application software so nobody would ask questions
about how to use it.....
