I picked this up off of Fidonet: --------------------------------------------------------------- Well, got to sit through a Microsoft presentation this weekend. Even won a piece of their software. But, I picked up some trivia that put an idea in my head. They informed the audience proudly that they have a "Wish" line for customers. A phone number a user could call and request certain features in a software product. And they proudly announced that many of the features in Excel 4.0 were the result of this "wish" line. Well, being the fan of OS/2 that I am, I got a devious smile ... if they listen to their wishes ... well, why don't we all call Billy G.'s company and send them a "wish" message -- develop and upgrade their OS/2 applications. And I do mean -- flood their message bank to let them know of the interest. Request the WPS for Windows program manager, etc. Whatta ya think? I'd love to see a frustrated operator have to tally all the OS/2 calls and present a report to an executive there <G>. And the "Wish Line" at Microsoft is:::::::::::>>>>>> (206) 936-WISH Give'em a dial. Cheers. =8:|)ave ----------------------------------------------------------------- Well, let's get those phones ringing! Srikanth
