Microsoft to buy the U.S. Government

REDMOND, Wash. - Oct. 21, 1997 -- In direct response to accusations made by the Department of Justice, the Microsoft Corp. announced today that it will be acquiring the federal government of the United States of America for an undisclosed sum.

"It's actually a logical extension of our planned growth", said Microsoft chairman Bill Gates, "It really is going to be a positive arrangement for everyone".
*********** missing text **************
Gates dismissed a suggestion that the U.S. Capitol be moved to Redmond as "silly", though did say that he would make executive decisions for the U.S. government from his existing office at Microsoft headquarters. Gates went on to say that the House and Senate would "of course" be abolished. "Microsoft isn't a democracy", he observed, "and look how well we're doing".

My comments:

I notice that the release didn't say that MSFT was buying NOVL though! I think that our BOD & Management is still saying that the company is NOT for sale! Oh well!

Novell sure looks cheap here now! ... and I think that lots of folks that want to get more involved in the InterNet and IntraNet business opportunities have enough money to buy most of the NOVL shares on the open market ... when the panic is over, it's sure to put some pressure on the BOD & Management at Novell, maybe they'll be more eager to show us some real revenue soon!
