A much older press release about an impending FIT buyout by
Microsoft said it would be canned. How's that for a cold hard fact for
you? Do I need to dig up the article and shove it down your throat so you
stop this unfounded counter arguement. In fact, I think I forwarded to
the list some time ago while I was on NoMail. I do make it a point to
keep up with the industry as best as I can, as old habits die hard.
Now please, if you want to argue with me, please have something to
argue with.
