is WHY did Microsoft get to use IBM? Well, it's because Gary Kildall (CPM) had his head in the sand, putting his pride/nobility/innovativeness/superiority above making a prudent business decision with big bad/evil IBM. If only he didn't have that foolish mentality.... That's why Bill Gates isn't an egghead; he didn't let personal matters interfere with his business.

Come on, Sal. Didn't ja know DOS is really stolen code? All that stuff was passed around back then. Changed that A prompt to B no wait C. Bill just needed someone who knew how to program it. Daddy being a lawyer helped a bit.

After all, that is the crux of their dismay--that with inferior imitations, Microsoft outmarketed their superior and innovative products.

Sal, the big guy would not approve of this. And you call yourself a youth leader. Do you sleep with that arm band on? Doesn't the glare from the big "e" keep you up?
