BTW - my personal opinion is that Bill will either be shot or kidnapped within the next couple of years. I really wonder if all the MS stockholders are ready for life without Bill. First off, I would be extremely careful about saying things like that in a public forum. Law enforcement does not take those things lightly. A couple years ago Gates' mother?Father? was involved in a kidnapping plot. I know you aren't threatening him yourself, but still. Secondly, wait until Gates is gone and Ballmer takes over. If you think Gates is a hard ass...

I used expedia this weekend. The only reason I used it is the car rental company I wanted to use redirected me to that site when I clicked on their reservations link. They totally screwed it up, in every way it could be screwed up. They gave me three reservations (not one) for cars that didn't exist at the location I was going to. Additionaly, they didn't indicate some absurd things about this car company (like not taking certain visa cards) that would have allowed me to prepare for the problem. I ended up in the middle of nowhere with no car reservation and no way to rent a car from that company. Luckily there was a budget counter, so I got one from them. I won't be using them or expedia ever again. By the way, when I signed on to expedia, it wouldn't take dragonfly so I tried other aliases, in frustration, after they were all taken, I tried "ihatemicrosoft". There are laready 3 people with that alias on expedia, it turns out! Dragonfly
