Which, in my very humble opinion, was an evil act.  Instead of killing a 
person, he's breaking both of his legs and watching him crawl around.  But 
you know, Gates has always slipped things in very slowly under most 
people's radar of vision.  It might be 3 more years before he removes the 
ability to write to the 720k DD disk, but might allow you to read them for 
another 6.

Don't worry, it's nothing I'm concerned about, but it's still humorous to 
watch the richest man on the planet have this kind of control.  All I can 
say is, upgrade.   Ok, bad choice of words.  :)
