Harvey, on the entertainment front, we got this failed effort by cheeky Scott McNealy to highlight the 64k "known issues" question, and its bearing on the integrity and uniformity of the Windows experience. nytimes.com . The spectre of an offer you can't refuse hangs heavily over the failure: Near the appointed hour, the trucks were lined up a few blocks away from the Convention Center. But the mission was aborted after the Western Exterminator manager learned that it was McNealy's company, rather than Gates' Microsoft, that had hired the trucks. Concerned about Gates' reaction, the manager called in his fleet. "He could buy the company and close it," he was reported as saying of Gates. Reminds me of a old story from a more innocent time in politics, when an old Dem. "dirty trickster" political operative named Dick Tuck was supposed to have hired 20 very visibly pregnant women to carry placards at a Nixon rally, proudly proclaiming "Nixon's the one!". Dirty tricks just ain't what it used to be. Cheers, Dan.
