Wow! The information technologies of the free world are subject to the
whims of one individual. Fidel and Bill relax. You are no longer the
only dictators left in the Western hemisphere. How strange an outcome
for those who plead so long and so loud for freedom of information,
freedom of products, open markets and all of that. I guess Orwell is
