Item Subject: cc:Mail Text
(Sorry for the previous unintended post.  I was trying to "select all" in
cc:Mail, and I wrongly guessed ctl-A.  Unfortunately, I fat-fingered ctl-S
instead.  Drat.)

Ed Foster's current column on Infoworld is a bit frightening:

        I recently told you about the Uniform Computer Information
        Transactions Act (UCITA), the new name for UCC Article 2B.
        [snip]
        UCITA will make the rules clear for shrink-wrap and click-wrap
        software licenses, and in essence it will say that what the vendors
        want goes. If they don't want to warrant that their products are
        fit for any purpose, they don't have to.  If they want you to
        warrant that you will inform them whenever your telephone number
        changes, they can do so. Live with it, or read all that fine print
        until you find a vendor who offers better terms, if one even
        exists.

I don't think I care about whether something is warranted for a particular
purpose (isn't that the way it is now?), but to require ME to take some
action just because some seemingly-unrelated event occurs strikes me as
unreasonable.

Can anyone provide more insight into this?
