DOug, RE:"I have no opinion on trial lawyers or what not, but I firmly believe microsoft needs to be broken up. I also think that it will be of huge benefit to the shareholders to own several smaller sleeker companies which will probably grow faster. That's what happened with AT&T anyway, I suspect it will happen again with microsoft if it's broken up" What benefit comes from breaking up MSFT have other than maybe making shareholders richer down the line? OTOH, ATT agreed to be broken up...MSFT hasn't as yet. Jim
