Really? Hmmm...

They just aren't as successful. That's O.K. Let Bill's dick out of your mouth for one second and consider this. M$ (that's right M$!) has attempted to impose its bullshit browser on all of it's users. That is, all who choose to upgrade to Win98. "So, don't upgrade." you say? Sorry, most people HAVE TO in order to keep their PCs going, not to mention the fact that after it was to come out, Win98 would have been preloaded on ALL of the new PCs. Speaking of preloads, who arranged that deal? Could it be M$?. You seem to work for Intel (and a great place it is for people with Bill's dick on their breath), you tell me...:) > > Scott > > ----------------------------------------------------- > I do not speak for Intel, and they > wouldn't want to say what I'm > thinking either! That's fine. There is no chance of anything which required thinking coming out from anywhere near Intel...:) Morbius
