Christine - They thought that they would be the 'poster child' for all PC problems, even though they sold very few of the application programs. Well! That's certainly encouraging. I was firmly of the belief that they were just so full of their own PR that they have failed to see that they are also a prisoner of their success. To the man-in-the-street Microsoft = PC. I think I'll extend my little 4 question quiz... (1) - Who's the Chairman of Microsoft? (2) - Who's the Chairman of IBM? (3) - What are MSFT's revenues? (4) - What are IBM's revenues? (5) - Do you know the difference between an operating system and an application? BTW... very, very few folks can get to #2, and EVERYONE is astonished that IBM is 4x the revenues of MSFT. - David
