Hey Yo... Chiko Let me just asure everyone that I am not G!!! I am even insulted that I am mistaken to be him... But I do want to talk about Corel..... Now I don't know a whole lot about stocks... But I do know about Computers.. (I am a comp Sci major) The day Corel decided to buy Word Perfect from Novel.. Is the day that corel should have just killed them selves.. (ask yourselvs.. why would anyone want to compete with Microsoft??.. Everyone knows that there is no competing with them.. Just ask the President of Netscape Secondly.. Corel are a bunch of liers... They advertised that their software was for Canadians, By CANADIANS!!!! They Illegaly hired Hungarian and German Programers to code WordPerfect... This is why the Goverment dropped them like a bad habbit and started to Use MS Office.. Recently someone posted something to me in reply saying how this would be bad because now Microsoft will have a monopoly and that their software would get worse... I think this guy has been reading way to many Win 95 hate pages on the net... While win 95 is not the best program there is still MS NT4.0 which if you ask anyone is a good OS!!! Then there is the isue of Monopoly... My friend you just proved to the world that you really do know absalutly nothing!!!! If you call up any major business you will find that most either use Unix, Solaros, or Notes as their OS.. As for office... maybee there they will have somewhat of a monoply.. but this is probably for the better!!! Beleive me when I tell you this.. (and my profs all agree).. No one in their right mind will buy out corell.. They are DEAD!!!! It's only a matter of time!! Sorry if this bothers anyone!! TOXIC.... <not g>!!!!!
