RE: Defeating the chips.

["Laurie Solomon" <laurie@advancenet.net>]

<x-charset iso-8859-1>I am inclined to agree with Austin on this - especially if one is doing the
modifications one's self in contrast to hiring someone to do the work.  If
one pays someone to do the modification to one's personal property which may
be patented could possibly open it up to question but not necessarily.
