strange movie i saw last year

[Derek A. Neighbors]

If you liked The Net, I suggest you rent a movie called AntiTrust.  It 
is eeriely too close to reality in many ways.  It also shows light on 
something other than the evil operating system.

If you have DVD check out the special features with interviews with the 
cast.  Its rather cool.  Tim Robbins and others all said they didnt know 
there was really this 'underground' in computing (i.e. freesoftware) and 
they now realize how evil Microsoft is and that its really cool that 
people are competing with free software.
