And where would computers be today if Micro never existed? <<They would be running software from the other companies.>> So how come they aren't if the other software is better? I've heard you can get Linux and Unix for free and they are better but people still buy Windows. I did and like it. I heard one of the government lawyers today saying Microsoft had to be broken up because they had 90% of the market. Why didn't they shut them down when they had 100% of the market as the only DOS suppliers? Now that's a fucking monopoly. Should the government nail any new company with a new product? The 100% deal monopoly. <<PCs also would have been able to run many usefull progams unattended, instead of tying the user to the screen by the mouse tail.>> So like Borland was going to let you do SI or e-mail while you were out playing golf?
