What a wonderful moronic response Larry. Even more insightful than the usual "Bill Gates is John Galt.". It's all so unfair to poor little Bill. Of course, it couldn't happen to a nicer company. Cheers, Dan.

Larry- There is growing and there is devouring. I think Bill was a young man who though circumstances inherited the computer software field and never quite learned to handle it. In play school when one kid sits in the sand box and grabs all the other kids toys the teacher takes the toys back and admonishes the wayward kid to "play nice". Bill never learned that lesson and I think his reaction to Netscape will be his downfall. This is going to be a long battle but I see no other conclusion than Microsoft is going to be broken up. IBM fought a long battle and stayed intact but IBM was more subtle and didn't leave a record of so many blatant actions around. Maybe Microsoft's reliance on technology is their undoing IBM only had telephone calls and meetings for the dirty work. Microsoft used E-Mail. Sounds kind of like it will be Nixon's tapes. Harvey
