Look, the stories about his mother buying his clothes and having the 
house keeper pin his shirts and pants to gether is true. Now he has 
Melinda to dress him and match his clothes. I think that is why he 
married her. From what I've heard, it sure isn't sex. : )

If you were local and saw the way these snakes converging on Seattle are 
always plotting to get either Gates or Allen's money, you might think 
different. I think Allen looses money on purpose. Gates has the golden 
touch and everything Allen touches turns to shit. Asymetrix, SkyPix, 
Starwaves, AOL, Medio, Darwin... the list goes on. Nerd N4UMB!  Allen has 
idiots running all around him too. He is like a Zombie and Gates is like 
an idiot.  What a wonderful life. Lies, Lies and more Lies....


Snakes in the grass! Splender NOT!

Last night I spent 3 hours trying to get a game to run for my son. It was 
a DOS game and Dos 6.2 wouldn't free up enough low memory no mather what. 
I spent about an hours looking for an older version of DOS. I ended up 
with DOS 5.0.  Now I have all the space I need.  DOS 6 was setup this way 
on purpose to put shareware people out of business. I'm sure of it. This 
is really sick. You can't write a realtime arcade game in Windows, and 
now MS won't let the DOS stuff work either. NO wonder the MultiMedia 
industry is taking a NOSE DIVE. THANKS MR GATES! Yet another MS strategy 
that screwed us all.
