And what's scary about that verdict, Alan, was that the driver of the car that hit the GM truck which exploded was legally intoxicated (that's right, DWI in action) and was travelling at something like 75-80 mph. I am also worried about the case, and the fact that the Jury is asking to have testimony from the Bristol witness read back to them makes me just plain nervous. Teflon

That's why pollsters and social scientists can never really figure out why most of your average joe's favor moderate Republican-ish (eg. most of Clinton's) economic policies. Yes, there is major bitching about large corporations, but I just don't think that the public sees Microsoft as harming them economically. Sales and revenues point to just the opposite... No consumer backlash in sight. just MHO
