>> BTW - Did you know that Bill Gates gets $10.00 every time HP, IBM, DEC, SUN/others sells a copy of UNIX. Just thought you'd appreciate the trivia. Part of a deal he cut years ago with UNIX International. Makes me sick. <<

Dave: No, as a matter of fact I didn't know that. I thought he only
got the DOS tax, etc.. That is interesting, I didn't know he had
his hand in the **IX world also.

Well, he cut the deal --> gotta give him credit for that. People
may not like what/how he does what he does at 40 years old, but
he does it. What irks me, is the (most apparant) inability of the
biggest players in the industry being "frozen" by him. It amazes
me with all that talent (management) out there, nobody has, excuse
me <g>,. bigger B*all's! You know what I mean?

Well, this whole exercise is going to be an interesting thing to
observe. In the meantime, I think I am going to start educating
myself on other industry sectors (other than Tech.). This is getting
too crazy for me <smile>.

Joe....
