- Hmm.... Can you say "Shit's gonna hit the fan" ??? Sounds like the
- company who made the X-Specs system (if they are still around) can slam
- the company who decided to make those "X-Specs" paper/plastic things with
- a bit of a lawsuit. He obviously was right in the comment tho, and
- almost definitely did not mean any arrogance or the like, since he
- probably knows, as most of us would, that there is no way some company
- would name their RED/GRN things X-Specs, even if it was an X-Rated film.
- Obviously, such an assumption was wrong. I wonder if the guys that
- invented the real X-Specs are watching this newsgroup... :) Welcome to
- the 1990's - the Litigation Decade... (!)
