Reminds me of a philosophical question:
If a lawsuit is filed and no one's around, does anyone care?
EDIT: Joke edited so it now actually makes sense.

SW == software. Guess I shouldn't use nonstandard abreviations.

Buy Now
On another note, Fuck At&t. Fuck them up thier stupid asses. After getting my phone service cut by one of thier lackeys I try to boycott them when I can.
