Please explain. Why would you unsubscribe ? Did the University of California use PICs ? Keep in mind that a court determined this. It was not a patent issue. It was an issue of property rights, disclosure and fraud. AGSC On 2006-Jul 23, at 06:03hrs AM, Peter wrote: I have seldomly felt as sick as I did after reading this article.
