Larry: re: valiant. I see your point, and like the image you create. But it is an image that is hard to square with the image of a criminal, one who flaunts the law and believes he is above it, not because of his values, but because of his wealth and power. That is what I see. When somebody says "I can do whatever I want because I have the money and the power to do it" that is not valiant -- it is arrogant.

Citizen Gates RE: "Why is fighting for your beliefs arrogant? Why is fighting the government arrogant? I personally love watching someone that is strong enough that they do not have to capitulate, but can fight. Microsoft isn't spitting in the face of the government, but they are vociferously defending their beliefs - valiant and courageous come to mind. I doubt Bill Gates is so dim as to believe all of what he is saying. This is a Marketing tact, not a legal position. Read the Conclusions of Law. Hal PS: RE "I agree that this doesn't look the best right now, but in a few months this could be quite nice." So, are you going to ride the rolercoaster down then up? Or, get off, invest in something else, and then catch it later?
