One of Bill's visions is to create cheap and easy to use software. Being a visionary can sometimes be looking at things as they are and changing them to things that will be. Now I KNOW you've never used a piece of MSFT software! Cheap it is, but not inexpensive (unless you're talking about IE, which is both cheap and inexpensive; it's a dog of a piece of software). Bill looked at something that was (Xerox's GUI), and made it into something that would be...a POS (Windows 3.1, 95, etc., etc.). In all your protestations you've yet to name one piece of software, or any concept in modern consumer computing, that Bill Gates has come even close to innovating. Which is not entirely unexpected, after all. Go get 'em, Duke! I eagerly await another installment of your screenplay. May I have a part? Mark
