Bob: To recall it, not long ago, the indomitable Bill Gates offered
the indulgent Madam Attorney General Janet Reno a deal where-
in he would solve the Y2K problem in exchange for the Justice
Department's promise to call off the dogs attacking his company.
To her credit, Madam Reno called his proposal "bold and inno-
vative" or similar. Gates's proffer begs the question, "Does Gates
have a fix for this problem already in hand." Even so, there is the
vexing issue of the date sensitive hardware itself, the so-called
"embedded systems" to which Wally Mastroly's excellent citation
refers. Please see:

Parenthetically, with respect to the commentaries made by Limbaugh,
Brinker, and our own Captain Kirk regarding the government's at-
tack on Microsoft as perhaps motivated by Gates's failure to cross
the palms of the vulturous whores in Washington, D.C with silver
or gold, there appeared in recent Barron's a poignant editorial
on this very subject and reprised at the following URL. Note the
Willie Sutton reference.
