Oh, heck, Bill, now I'm hearing from you folks that some big dinos like
IBM could be dead anyway in a truly competitive environment. :-) Sure
hope that doesn't jeopardize The Deal and my OS/2 support.
Anyway I trust that you'll use your Stakeholder Shares wisely. Imagine
the new economies here. Poor kids will no longer have to go to civics
classes. Nor will rich kids; CompuGov will be as responsive to them as
the best butler.
Cheers,
David
