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.
