<<But, you know, you gotta pay if you wanna play!!!<g> >> I used to say something very similar to this...but now, more and more, I'm hearing about offices moving over to Linux and Open Office and saying they refuse to "play" with Microsoft anymore...and some of these offices are NOT small players...I would think Bill would listen to this...has he no concern about how the general public is feeling about Microsoft these days? He sure acts like he doesn't care. Linda F.

There are many other things I'd like to do with that money (hey!! That's a set of tires for my truck!) And lemme tellya that when I'm working on Office for the Enterprise here at my employers', the numbers look dramatically more astounding than you can believe...especially when they choked on giving people 2.1% increases in their wages this year! Yep, I don't like having to pay someone else's way.
