In reponse to the comment about current stocks vs. Shadowrun stocks:

Not quite the same; Aztechnology only practices blood magic and toxic
rituals. I wouldn't be cruel by comparing them with "The Evil Empire"
(tm)

With all due respect old chap, you'll find that "The Evil Empire"(tm) is
already taken by Disney. Sorry, you'll have to find a different tag of
Microsoft Corporation.

In response to the Dark Avenger's response, etc. on Microsoft and
Disney:

You mean you still don't know? After Bill Gates got hit by lightning
while watching a re-run of "Reanimator", he took all the dough he made
off of MS DOS and created the "Windows of the Soul" project. He had a
top team of scientists bring Walt Disney's cryogenically frozen head
back to life and joined forces with the reawakened head to draw the
world into a new dark age under their rule. The marketing department
thought that "Windows of the Soul" was too gaudy to put on the
packaging, though, so it was later shortened to just "Windows".

Too busy rolling around and laughing to even attempt a coherent answer.

Thanks man, I needed a damn good laugh. :)

Which reminds me: If you have the computer stocks in your name, but the
originals are kind of charred and riddled with bullet holes, will they
be recognized?

You never know. I mean, doesn't PoaD:DS say something along the lines of
"secret practices behind door 598B"?

Kinky. Bill Gates could use a few piercings. And purple hair. And
contacts.

BTW, my game store is right where the Aztechnology pyramid should be.
Coincidence?
