THAT was a class act! I did something vaguely similar when I took out a 
provisional patent and then let it lapse for the express purpose of thus 
hard-wiring the idea into public domain to prevent anyone from ever 
being able to take out a patent on the same idea.


BTW I'm looking for higher resolution/quality copies of the original 
Netscape 'navigator' (icon there wree several versions, I want them all).
