I hate to bring up any of our past rants, but whatever happened to the invulnerability of Microsoft's 'proprietary lock' Reg used to go on about? That must have been a typo. I'm sure he meant something else, such as 'proprietary bock', that leaves the drinker with a type of headache that requires a proprietary MSFT pain killer to eliminate.

I hate to bring up any of our past rants, but whatever happened to the invulnerability of Microsoft's 'proprietary lock' Reg used to go on about? Is it rude for him to say that now? Rude? Au Contraire! In the Ballmerian moral universe, it's not rude, it's ethical, courteous, and humorous! It's downright enjoyable, if your sense of humor is warped enough. Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds, you know, the Judge worked that in somewhere too. And this is not a slight on Ballmer, I think I really like the guy. I mean, the ethics and courtesy part is still pretty alien, but the humor part I can dig. Cheers, Dan.
