And while your at it would let me know as a consumer if you were ever hurt by MSFT did you complain to any government official about it? and if so what was the outcome? If you never did then why are you now complaining? Did you just realize your pain after government let you know about it? I was viewing the ever so enlightening CNBC show one morning and low & behold the talking heads announced in their news portion that Microsoft was giving away (you know, as in free) a browser. I was quite astonished and excited by the news. My heart began to race (because of MSFT) with the idea that instead of having to pay someone for something , that I might be now allowed to use a product that is actually free. Needless to say this jubilant yet stressful (because of MSFT) event most likely shaved many years off my life (because of MSFT.) I subsequently leaped from my couch like any potato would upon such great news, to rush to my P.C. to try and download it from Microsoft's site. While doing so I incidentally began choking on a very large jawbreaker (because of MSFT), I didn't know what to do at the time and was alone. I was in a state of panic as to what to do (because of MSFT.) Suddenly I began to feel the jawbreaker work it's way down and was relieved (no thanks to MSFT.) After a deep sigh of relief, I began the resumption of my journey to D/L this free thing which was becoming to be such a painful process. After entering my dark office & walking towards the light switch I stumbled and fell over a garbage can that was moved by someone (probably MSFT) and hit my head on the corner of the desk (because of MSFT.) The bleeding was profuse however not very painful. I wasn't about to let this stop me though. I sat down, got online and went to Microsoft's web site and D/L their browser. I loved it, including the price. Anyhow to make a short story long <g> the carpal tunnel syndrome, eyestrain, back ache began to set in (because of MSFT) while surfing during the D/L. As to the question as to whether I complained to any Govt. official, the answer is no of course, they must have received enough complaints of incidents like mine from Scott, Steve & Larry. Just remember the liberals know what's in our best interest, they said so. <rolls eyes> I really hope these elected charlatans as well as their appointed ilk are put in their rightful place, wherever that may be. Best regards, Gary
