Dan, Sounds like Big Blue is warming up those assembly lines for the roll-out of their 1GHz machines... Oh, those IBM boys, always innovating. quicken.excite.com As a bonus I found a new Visual C++ 4.2 feature which may have been innovated into 5.0. Inserting a file with the name test.cxx will end up as test.cxx.c in the project. Must be that AI Wizard at work again. Cheers, Norm

Mouser offers . . . zdnet.com A slow news day, I'm reduced to recycling Spencer the Katt. A hardware geek wrote to Rumor Central last week to tell his sad tale of trying, unsuccessfully, to register online for Microsoft's upcoming WinHEC conference. The apparent reason for his denial? His credit card has a "00" expiration date. The poor unregistered soul is hoping Microsoft can figure out a way to fix the Y2K glitch before WinHEC 2001. Think ol' Spencer's going to get a call from Microsoft's lawyers on this one? Leave the lawyers out of it! More Microsoft fear and loathing: Another Katt chronicler was buttonholed last week by a researcher conducting a survey regarding Microsoft and its business practices. The lengthy survey (more than 180 questions), according to the tipster, included questions on potential advertising slogans (some of which were laughable) and on Microsoft's competitors, along with one that asks whether Netscape bullied the Justice Department into suing Microsoft. That nasty, powerful Netscape, bullying those wimps in DOJ into going after poor, defenseless, politically naive Microsoft. Caught them by surprise while Bill was off hobnobbing with what he thought were important world leaders, too. I'm sure the researcher found everybody loves Standard Microsoft Business Practices in all their varied glory, and the most loved executive at the greatest company in the history of the known universe isn't Bill or Ballmer, it's Joachim Kempin. The OEMs are obviously the most important customers, and they love Microsoft more than anybody, so it must be him. Subtle and clever Microsoft, they'd never stoop to attack polling, would they? Cheers, Dan.
