- Since when is it "commercial" for somebody to compile a comparison list of
- various workstations, and make that compilation available? In the case of
- a specific company posting new product announcements saying "Here are our
- new products and their specs", then you might have a point. But there is
- absolutely no problem with an "uninterested" (financially, that is) party
- talking about the relative merits of various products. Dissemination of
- this type of information is one of the basic principles of Usenet.
