Dear Dan, Correct me if I am wrong, but I seem to remember, on the PBS show "Revenge of the Nerds" that Bill Gates hired someone to copy DOS from some guy in San Francisco that had developed it ( a hippie type that didn't want to deal with IBM), and thus the birth of DOS.... There seems to be a similiarity here with Microsoft "stealing " the MAC interface from Apple, and then winning the court battle in the same way that OJ won his court battle (with "better" lawyers). THAT is why I still use a MAC, after being ridiculed by "friends" at the time who called the MAC platform a "toy". - right - Apple set the standards, and Microsoft reaps the profits - same deal with their stance against Netscape - makes me sick....
