IBM has been orchestrating this whole event from the start.

Aha. Epiphany. It's all becoming much clearer now. IBM is behind it all (which explains why the lawyer who defended them in their long-running antitrust trial is now prosecuting Microsoft). But we've also learned from blankmind that the DOJ is a communist outfit (and a transvestite one at that). So now, I figure that must mean that IBM -- the ringleader in this whole thing -- is just a communist front organization. Is that the way it goes?

And I know that aliens have to fit in here somewhere, but I'll wait to find out about their nefarious machinations.

Get off the propaganda bandwagon!! And I am sure the Communist are also involved in this MSFT Anti-Trust battle.

Do you know how stupid your comments sound? At least it is something to get a good laugh at!

- IBM may end up damaging the Clinton Justice Dept's case:

#1 - IBM use to be the #1 PC seller

#2 - IBM, by its own admission, was making PC's that cost too much

#3 - the IBM PS/2 was propritary architecture (what a pain in the neck that is)

#4 - IBM could have bought in to MS-DOS, but IBM didn't want to spend the resources to do so.

>>The present value of MSFT is a great opportunity for folks like you to get into this great company at a discount of nearly 20%.

wouldn't that mean a p/b of .8 instead of 20?

FWIW
