Hello All / Microsoft Just wanted to add my 2 cents about M$FT. A couple of years ago I wrote a letter to Microsoft (yeah, a letter, long time ago) with a suggestion for a character format for Word. Specifically, it was to allow a single dot (as a variant underline) under letters to properly accent certain words, like the dotted 's' in Sufi. Not exactly an original idea: the formatting has been around at least 100 years. Well, I received a curt letter and a long legal release form giving M$FT the right to use it. I just wanted them to make a slight improvement in Microsoft Word by what amounts to enabling an accent. Did they patent the use of CAPITAL LETTERS? What a joke! Anyway, I am very interested in SUNW but unfortunately my 20% limit for foreign stocks in my RRSP (Canada) has been reached with ORCL. But soon... stephen
