Well, I can certainly see the reason for a little animus. I never would have gotten into the "Executive Briefings" except for my friendship with Frank Paterson. Frank was with Fox Holding in the early days as a salesman and he went to MS when they were bought. Frank wound up being a manager in the Atlanta office and he would invite Randy Wallin and me down whenever "Bill" would go to Comdex. If you had only told me of the problems, I could have leaned on Bill!<G>

You weren't with us at the time, but briefly, we (Sun Health Foundation, Inc.) asked for permission to use Windows 95 from an OEM disk we had. We weren't asking for support, media or money, just permission. It would have cost them $1 at the time. Oh, OK, $5 if their typists get health care. They refused, and spent hundreds trying to put a nice face on it, lying through their teeth all the while. The counter proposal was that we take advantage of their charity "discounts." It would have cost us $40,000. That's when we went to Linux. The thread is in the profox archives somewhere. Same thread as the W2K Service Pack 3 discussion.
