Toy - you caught it in time - funny about those single little words, eh? I can only say I don't think someone is going to call Dell or Gateway or go into Radio Shack or CompUSA and say: "I've heard some really bad stuff about Bill Gates, so give me something that doesn't use Microsoft software." (Remember the pasting he took in the comics when Berklely Breathed was still publishing Outland?) What I think will happen in a year or so is more along the lines of: "I see we have to buy a bunch of other stuff now when we buy Windows2000 - can you load all the other stuff for me?" "Sir, you can have it from XYZ, ABC, LMN, QRS or Microsoft. Which do you want?" "I don't know, what do you recommend?" "Well, actually, Microsoft owns all those companies, so it really doesn't make any difference." <ggg> for the weekend. See y'all Tuesday! Mr. K.
