  25. *sigh* is anybody forcing people to buy MS DOS at $100 a copy?  Any sales
  26. which go on are completely voluntary between buyer and seller.  Obviously
  27. both parties are happy about the price or it wouldn't get sold.  If
  28. Microsoft and its customers are happy, why interfere with them?
