The bill is simply unenforceable in any other way (IMO and only IMO).Weird mostly because it seems legit. Essentially no such place as 'New Jersey' to the internet after it becomes effective if it passes.Tom Liotta -- Tom Liotta The PowerTech Group, Inc. 19426 68th Avenue South Kent, WA 98032 Phone 253-872-7788 x313 Fax 253-872-7904 http://www.powertech.com __________________________________________________________________ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.
