Uh huh. You're still the cheesiest, Reggie. VBA was freely licensed, as in licensed for free, to everybody but Corel. Corel could have it for $50million. You don't see any problem or contradiction there, as I would expect. I'd guess that you know something about Corel's bottom line, financial guru that you are. $50million is freely licensed about the same way that freedom is slavery, to quote a favorite author. I guess VBA is just another one of those "open" Microsoft standards. And, as somebody once said, nothing in life is free.

As for who's rational, well, who exactly said that the DoJ, the top cops in the land had investigated Microsoft and found them not a monopoly? Setting a precedent no less. Oh, I know, another out of context excerpt from the Mind of Reg(TM). That statement is no doubt currently inoperative , as Al Haig would say.

Cheers, Dan.
