//  Amen to that.  Bill Gates is seemingly just another John D. 
Rockefeller-type megalomaniac.  According to one Microsoft employee, Bill 
sometimes adds emphasis by jumping up and down on top of his desk.  A few 
month ago, I was telephoned by one of Bill's lapdogs.  He asked me if I 
would write to my congressional reps in support of Microsoft's appeal of 
the court decision in the Justice Department lawsuit againt Microsoft?  I 
told him that the lawsuit was a good thing because Bill already controls 
95% of the OS market.  If it wasn't for Apple and the Justice Dept., 
consumers would have virtually zero choice.  He has not called back.  

cheers, Skipp
