hey cheryl,

i really liked mr. tutt's idea about distributing msft's cash horde to their investors in the form a dividend. it seems fair to shareholders, consumers and justice would be served. msft needs a just penalty for the illegal actions they participated in.

i would be willing to sign-on to such a document if one were drafted <g>.

rocky.

<<If we took a poll for every legal case in front of the court, OJ would be in jail right now.>>

Bad place to go but, since you did; if "we took a poll" of the Millions of Consumers Nationally and Internationally, ol' softy would have never been requested to enter the courtroom [as many polls have shown].

Otoh if "we took a poll" from the same group of people theyd overwhelmingly agree that the punishment fits the crime....

Much like swearing at a funeral in a particular state does....

Frivolous lawsuits resulting in minor convictions GET frivolous punishments (despite selfish reasoning otherwise)....

-Be thankful the punishment goes MUCH further then it should (despite selfish reasoning otherwise)....

- Be thankful to MS for massive and expeditious penetration of software (despite selfish reasoning otherwise)....

- BE thankful for other reasons then selfish ones. For a change.

- BE thankful, thank YOU.
