LOL!! Ohh right I forgot, MSFT wants to ensure it has a monopoly - even on dead products. At least in a few years they can say that they have 100% marketshare of 5 users. And it cost them how much for the right to say this? Toy

Cheer up, James. You got the other Bill's troubles to entertain you. We don't want sexual McCarthyism, says Henry Hyde. And we want the FBI to get after those Salon dogs for spilling the beans on my old affair. Never mind Ken Starr's "secret" grand jury proceedings, that's different. Let's keep this non-political. Bwaaaaahahahahaha. As far as WebTV go, this is just one analyst. I have to admit, I've doubted WebTV since counting the lines of text it could put on the screen when it first came out. I've always been skeptical about the whole convergence thing in general, but who knows? Cheap PCs may kill WebTV, but they play into Bill's hand plenty of other ways. Maybe Bill turning the PC into a TV will work out better. This "set-top box is dead" thing is overdoing it anyway, there's other things for it to do. Cheers, Dan. P.S. Sorry to read about your run-in with the dogs of war on some drugs. Just be glad you weren't carrying a lot of cash.
