Paul -- Re: <<the cigarette tax is hypocritical but so would not breaking up Microsoft.>> Well put. IMHO, all the whining about DOJ intervention is hollow and self serving. M31

Microsoft is fast becoming the most hated company in America. Only in your dreams. You're really fantasizing if you believe that. The news organizations only print all the anti-MSFT retoric, because that's what is controversial. Do you use MicroSoft products? I'll assume that since you hate Microsoft, you would not use their products. Don't give me any whiny excuses about how you're "forced" to use Microsoft products, either. There are a myriad of alternatives to Windows: OS/2, MacIntosh, Linux, Unix, etc. All allow you to browse the web with a non-Microsoft browser, and compute with non-Microsoft spreadsheets and word processors. So, let's have an inventory of your system, and other MSFT haters' systems as well. DK PS - I use some of Microsoft's products because I like them. I use other non-MSFT products because I prefer them over the MSFT products. Is this so hard to understand?
