You know this is different that the 'tobacco' deal that was killing people and forcing the states to 'pay' the hospital bills.

Let's assume for a minute (not that it will happen) that BG sells his stock and quits. His one last 'upgrade' distributed 'free' of course has a 'time' stop in it. All computers stop, not to go again! The 'states' have trouble running their application software, can you imagine them trying to fix an operating system? I don't know about the state that you live in, but here in Washington, the state has been burned badly by computer systems that have been bought and just don't run! How about the IRS and their great plans! (I'm glad on that one!) If it was so easy, everybody would do it!

Is this the case of the news media 'trying to make the news' again?

We'll watch!
