Hello John,
>...it is just this type of attitude that kept America out of ww2 for so long and is also the attitude that will greet the chinese at the front door when they decide they want to own this country one day.

Ha! Good one. Now I'm recalling Monty Python's John Cleese in "The Meaning of Life" portraying the boys prep school professor admonishing his students to respectfully remember "Founders Day, when so many gallantly gave their lives to keep China British!" But I'm digressing here...

>if history tells the truth, ms will not take on the 'marketing' of VFP. a wee glimmer of hope, though, is the hiring of new personel in the VFP department, but i don't think hiring a couple of VFP'ers is a real reason to start the band playing just yet....

But John! MS hires a couple of VFP people is a significant thing, ya know. At least thats what I've read on UT. Last night I learned about a few more people interested in hiring at dice.com: :-) But now these numbers don't *really* count for anything, do they?

(Sorry, I limited my search to the good 'ol U-S-throw-A-way.)
