do you pay US taxes"" But Dear Ms. Abagail, I am not a US citizen, why should I? but your name, Switzerland, foreign accent (grammar) all make this ve-r-y interesting and a good Sunday afternoon discourse. AND . . . I think you are correct."" Switzerlan? Why? Did you think in Switzerland they Speak Swiss?? gggg Not so! There are 4 official languages in Switzerland! French, Italian, German Swiss, and Romansche! Now you didn't know that, did you! Even funnier, most people in Europe speak English with an accent! LOL We all sit (including me) on our fat asses "" Pls. I am very thin, always on diet, maybe on my skinny ass? ggg Fairness, fairness" There is no fairness, and there is no justice, but there is greed, and plenty of it! You talk about what a great system you have in the Unites States, well, nobody can argue with that! I think what you have with all its shortcomings is the best. But this system has its limitations for fairness and indulgence! When you get too big for your own shoes, it will strike you down and you can't fight it! When you swim agaisnt the current, it will strike you down! Simple as that!

Abbey--- that news has been out for days,, should it not signal our Judge that there really is competition. Should our good judge not call the DoJ and tell them to thank the govt for proving msfts case and allowing all to end? Has our good judge not seen it yet? How could it be missed at his level? COREL had sued the govt for not using their product and bingo,,, only says people are buying what they want,,, the best,, but there is other software out there. Maybe not as good, maybe not really what the rest of the world uses and who wants to learn 2 or more office suites? If hireing a secretary and the candidate has been using or even teaching another for years,,, that is not impressive unless they can use windows just as profeciently,, or more so,,, ever see any public library, adult ed classes or any others offer training on anything but Windows? Who would show up??
