I have long ceased to invent... : I wait till I seem to know what really happened. Or till it writes itself. Thus, though I knew for years that Frodo would run into a tree-adventure somewhere far down the Great River, I have no recollection of inventing Ents. I came at last to the point, and write the 'Treebeard' chapter without any recollection of any previous thought: just as it now is. And then I saw that, of course, it had not happened to Frodo at all.
Your rights are not affected in the least, as long as you don't point out bad behaviour of an unscrupulous company, such as SCO, in a public forum. You don't have to worry about a Maureen O'Gara character coming after you and posting your private address and phone number on a very public website that may or may not be affiliated with said unscrupulous company.
In other words: as long as you watch what you say, your freedom of speech is not affected in the least.

Yes.
I was talking about the image on the notebook's screen, and its more-than-passing similarity to the default desktop background image in Mac OS X.
I don't think that the choice of desktop background for this aluminum-looking notebook is coincidental.
May this be a hint of a "5 W Sub-Laptop" in Apple's future?
You're obviously not Pamela Jones.
