Here's my way of fighting back... Sent to investor relations of Costco -- Gentlemen: On several occasions I have noticed computer software products by McAfee Corporation being offered for sale by Costco. I believe the media story reproduced below amply describes the ethics of this company and the fact that they have no place in the Costco family of trusted brands worthy of sale to your members. Denying access to distribution can be one of the most powerful forces we can bring to bear on curbing this type of reprehensible and illegal corporate conduct. Costco has developed a strong identity amongst its members for offering excellent value and trusted brands. I would urge you to both remove their products and publicize the reasons therefor. Thanks for your consideration <sig/member #/contact info> <copy of story appended>
