Pro-Rust Computing Hell, I'll call it an "Escort" service for $20,000,000. Sounds good to me. I know we can sell one. I want DOS and Linux on a laptop. Engineering geeks started this fad, damn it, and they can start the next wave. Let's see . . . free operating system . . . free browser . . . $99 Office Suite . . . let Billy boy try to undercut US! If Interleaf were smart they'd let us put Interleaf for DOS on it for free. Are you listening Interleaf? I'm sure Netscape would lend a helping hand. I own part of Sun Microsystems (OK, a few shares). Maybe Mr. McNealy will throw in some free hardware and software for us (at least a JAVA coffee mug). It's good for JAVA (the language). Applix cuts us a deal on the Office Suite, Starbuck's gives us free coffee, Ford throws in a couple of Expeditions, Chevrolet a 'Vette, Nike a shoe contract (they need Rusty . . . more nerds wear tennis shoes than athletes), BYTE a free subscription and Playboy . . . I'm sure we can work something out. Think of the POSSIBILITIES! This could be FUN! Everyone would want us to succeed. Everyone would LOVE US . . . well, er . . . um, everyone would want us to succeed. NASTRAN for Linux. Quicken for Linux. Pro-Rust . . . leave the rest in the dust. . . . their laptop, a must. . . . their taglines, a bust. Maybe we'll call it the "Escort". Put an "Escort" on your lap. Needs a lot of work . . .
