Rusty, et al, I read in "Business Week" last night a rather interesting Bill Gates quote. The CEO of AOL met face to face with the man, and he said "I can buy 20% of your company, all of it, or I can jump into your business and bury you...". I think the guy is the AntiChrist. Go Apple!!! -John

We're just having fun here ... I know we are! I always have a good time here. People love to complain about MS. I do it myself. Why? As you said - easy target. It's like complaining about the government. Suppose 150 million people used the JavaOS. We'd hear the exact same bitching and moaning from people on how it sucks, it's too bloated, the FooBagOS is far superior (even though it hasn't been released and people have never used it and don't know the features). And I agree - Microsoft Excel is probably the greatest single application ever.
