Reggie,

Numbers are troubling things; it could be construed that the consumer is paying more and more for less "innovation". Isn't that what happens when you have a monopoly? The monopoly has the ability to gain more profit through stagnation of the product line and therefore begins to milk the consumer by repackaging the product line rather than advancing it.

Just what will Word98 offer that Word97 does not already have? It does not take alot of research funds to move items around on the menubar now does it? Next thing you will see Microsoft offering software with stickers like "15% more code!", "More colourful icons", "3 special fonts not available anywhere else".

As long as the sheep line up to be sheared, I'll invest in Wintel but I still see Microsoft for what they are. Word98 good; Word97 baa-aa-aa-d. Bill "Squealer" Gates knows how to work the animals on the farm, alright.

Cheers,

Norm
