...I think I disagree with you on a few points you'd mentioned; #1. You don't
own any Microsoft Software...NoOne does. Ol' Billy-Goat, Billy-Boy, & Boys just "Lease"
it to you...and it's FAR from the Best O.S. (DOS 6.2, anyone?, Unix, etc.).
And Bill G8s doesn't make good Software, he hires people to hire people to make the
software, as well as Operating Systems (although they're useable & they sometimes
work; They're not Solid)...He is one helluva good BusinessMan though (although I
question his Business Ethics).
Anyway, best not say more...Don't want to anger the G8s unit.
