ummm. When eggzactly was msft a "penny stock"? Were you looking at its
pre-ipo price, or are you talking about the 11 odd splits that they
have had since ipo, or are you saying that $100 = 10000 pennies? :)

<<There are alot of
companies that made billions writing better compilers, better sorters better
everything than IBM >>
FYI, compiler was a new-fangled concept in the "hey-day of ibm monopoly". People didn't have "better compilers", they were lucky to have ANY compilers. By the time compilers became semi-stable,
and those assembler programmers started trusting them, the world had VAXes, DGs etc. Also, what the heck is a "sorter"?

No wonder you like Dell!
