Then enlighten me. And equally obvious way out of your depth here. > > > Give me one shread of evidence that this ever happened.

If it's true, someone somewhere would have put something on the Internet about it. Microsoft dragging desks and chairs out of bankrupt computer stores would have upset somebody enough to write an article about it. Again, I'm not denying that computer shops have closed as a direct result of Microsoft's bullying. But I am denying ever seeing anything that would make me believe they get the stuff from the closed store. And that is your claim. If that is not your claim, then please explain the statement you made, "the vendor was shut down,and all assets went to Microsoft." A claim I've quoted back to you twice now, and you never denied making, or attempted to clarify. You're making a huge claim, here, Jonathon, and you're not forthcoming with anything to back it up. The ball is in your court. And making further insults about my ignorance may win you friends on the OOo lists, but it won't make you correct or justified in your claims against MS. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ Because everyone loves free software!
