If I were a MFST shareholder, I would listen to Daves comments very closely and not "ignore" them. Bob.

However, after 100 years, GE is still running its operations with a focus on maximizing shareholder value, rather than illegally protecting and leveraging monopolies. Maximizing shareholder value IS what's being strived for, long term. The Higher Court has yet to state its opinion, thank you for yours. And of course millions of users of GE's products aren't running around complaining that GE is an Evil Empire with badly made products. If there were, GE would not have survived for 100 years. The IT world is just that; a different world. "Evil Empire" has been discussed ad nauseam among IT companies about their competition. Seldom, if ever, have I witnessed a consumer describe them (Microsoft) in such a way any different than any other company. Oh yeah, and GE's motto is "We bring good things to life," rather than "We will cut off your air supply." Another media fallacy which Microsoft was never proven to be quoted of. Chalk one up for Big Media, and to those who believe what they want to believe.
