<<Wouldn't it be cool if Jobs can talk Clinton into buying $2 Bil worth of Macs for US schools and military? That'll do more good for this country than say....a B2 bomber wouldn't you say? ;-)>> Well, If I were Jobs, I would tell Clinton if the fed and justice department want to file suits against Microsoft's antitrust which possibly delays Win98 on the market in June, the federal government should buy more Mac, which will take an example to private industries and result in boosting Mac's pc marketshare. Particularly, in DoD, the largest budget within all agencies, there is a lion share of budget used for automation. If Clinton could propose buying a significant amount of Mac in Federal Government, then he will more or less reduce the tension between Congress/Dept. of Justice and Microsoft/allied pc manufacturers. Personally, I think pc allied forces have been too huge to be ignored before it's too late. Phil
