Well, I can't speak for the rest of you, but _I_ would take a job in
Wal-Mart before I would work for someone like Bill Gates. As they say in
China, he is guilty of many crimes against the people.
Along these lines, I have made every effort to move away from Microsoft
products. I use WP for Windows and make every effort to remove all
Microsoft producdts from my machine. Yes, I am using Windows 95, but plan
to move to MAC or LINUX real soon!
How many jobs have been lost due to Microsoft technology?
Just one person's opinion. If you don't agree, then..you don't agree.
Makes no never mind to me!
BTW, I feel that we are fast approaching the world envisioned by Kurt
Vonnegut in his quintessential "downsizing" work...PLAYER PIANO!
Where will it all stop?
Bill
