- Hmm, I've very eager to see the actual text of the message.
- Until then there is nothing much to argue about...
-
- We have a bunch of people willing to flip over a supposed
- evil message from the Evil Empire (TM). (Speaking of which... Phil it
- *DOES* have a history of such things:
- ie the WordPerfect Monster in MS Word
- and the limping, buggy, 123 icon in MS Excel 4.0. ) and on the
- other side we have you arguing that MS couldn't possible have shiped
- a product that blantently lies about another product.
-
- Shrug. How about somebody scaring up the actual text??
