>Does Chris Mathews ever talk? I've only seen him shout. Someone needs to tell him that we have microphones that pick up your voice, even if he were to whisper.

You [may have] missed the storey on Chris. I think PBS was going to hire him (or some other 'noble' news service). This was during the period that the Clinton Administration was trying to break up microsoft into a DeskTop and O/S company. Money got Chris to go with MSNBC. He is a walking 'Weapon of Mass Distraction'

Apparently, Chris [and others] did such a good job, the the issue changed from what was going on with MS's Desktop, and more about what was going on under Clinton's desktop.

We got a new 'administration' - the suit was dropped (in the US anyway) - The Dept of Homeland Security closed a 100M$ + deal with MS - I guess the accounts are even now :~). But, it's shifted to Europe - I heard news-rumors that the Euro EC is threatening to pull the plug unless microsoft modifies it's behavior.

The never ending storey. Me thinks phone services have gotten better since ATT was quartered - but I am just a 'lonely' guy, behind a keyboard, and of little significance in the larger scheme of things. All I have is geek gosip to keep me entertained. I plead with the brain police and the HTA COM vendors to let me enjoy my little life.
