Affirmative Razorback, by why would that make him take his own life? I'm more inclined to believe the child pornography part of it or some very high level corporate files.

It does make you want to know what it was and why he took his own life over that. To me it was just something that was going to happen. If it was not because of the computer's it could have been something else along that line. To me and I don't know about yall out there to me it sound's like he was suffering from depression of some sort. I mean why would you take your own life over something that stupid. I mean why would you take your own life anyway?

Do you really have to be told, RGilbert? He's been torrenting Metallica and was going to be fined to the amount of $10,000 per song!
