	We could always use some more Gates-bashing.   I've
always been a Microsoft-hater, but Microsoft is There. 
Linux, anyone?

	Yeah.  I've always thought that if someone gave a few
million dollars, or if it suddenly became a hot
academic specialty, it would get institutionalized,
careers would be made on it -- and they never would
solve it, because they would lose their funding and
careers!

	I would be.  I'd really like to know what it says. 
Maybe I ought to work on Hamptonese, and Jacques on
Rongorongo.  We probably have better chances!

Keep hope alive,
Dennis
