How about.... "Steve, you @!...@! idiot di...@$* !$$-hole. I don't give a flying #...@$! if you make any money at all (well maybe I wouldn't use those terms). Hell, just split your banked 50 Billion amongst your employees and close up your house. The rest of the world will be a lot better off for it in the long run. But if you really want to keep going, you're going to have to change your business model completely. Fire 95% of your lawyers, make all your software free, and switch to a services, vice product, company. Who knows, if you did all that you may actually build a user-base instead of the current slave-base." :-) -Charlie _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
