>>>The people that I know who work at MSFT think that they are being innovative! Really. >>>I think the MS Natural Keyboard is innovative! Apparently you weren't around in the '80s, to see the dozens of innovative experiments in keyboard design that included everything in the MS keyboards and much more, far as I can tell. Plus were higher quality construction. You can't buy most of them anymore, because the bad has driven out the good, once again. >>>I think that getting a computer system into millions of homes for educational reasons alone is innovative! I presume you are talking about IBM, Apple, TRS-80, and so on in 1977-1998. This was the most common use of the millions of Apple IIs. Today you would additionally be talking about anything that can connect to the educational resources on the Internet. Which MSFT has done very little to create. How about Gates and Ballmer in Harlem with their sleeves rolled up for the next school Net Day? That would offset a hundred cream pies! >>>MSFT may not have been the 'first' but they have 'paved the road'! IBM wasn't first, but they paved the road. Or Apple, or Commodore. Microsoft has set up the toll booths and roadblocks. Yer dreamin, KM. But keep on posting, I read them all with expectation. Cheers, Chaz
