Its becoming the Oakland Raiders of the Network sector in my mind. Now lets bring home a trophy in '98! Jeff McNealy may think he can create a new world order, but Bill Gates has other ideas--and guess who's right? Gary Rivlin lays out the scenario. Macromedia: Cut! -- This multimedia prize fighter, with its dazzling Director, coulda been a contender. Is it down for the count?
