Yeah Joe,

If it was made in England it should be removed. The surface properly
prepare and sprayed with Ducco Enamel.

By the way, are you only going to paint ONE mast? Which one, the Main or
the mizzen?

They want to sell to the better
paid people in this country, without having to pay the wages within that
market place.

Micro Soft,

You mean that outfit that had to pay damages in the States and Europe
and Asia for monopolist behavior. Your Myopia is showing badly. You
can't see Bill Gates Greed?

Try payoffs to get the government off their backs. Microsoft has no
monopoly. Gates is not greedy. He earned all his money. It's greedy people
like you that want to take it away. No one forces you to buy Microsoft
products.



Don't ask me to defend Unions. I won't!! I don't like them. The second
line of my post; The line right after I say; "you're full of ****!" The
line that identifies ME as a NON-UNION PERSON. You can read it in the
attachment.

Your Myopia is worst that I thought. Your Field of vision is truly
affected. You don't even see what is plainly written correctly

Have another drink and chill. Eat some corn muffins. Make sure your
underwear isn't on backwards.

Help me with my myopia. Apply what you have said to this case: Microsoft.
Bill Gates is the richest man in the world. He's the CEO of Microsoft.

1. Does a union exist at Microsoft?

No, but could they really make a worse product if there was?

2. How many employees of Microsoft have become millionaires thanks to
Microsoft?

Lots and lots... due to a bizarre fluke of stock market history and a
large amount of corporate steamrollering

3. How many layoffs has Microsoft had?

Lots, actually.

4. How many jobs have Microsoft moved offshore?

Lots, actually (see #3 above)

5. How many people have become millionaires owning Microsoft stock?

Probably fewer than #2 above.

6. Point out 3 examples of greed at Microsoft.

You mean other than every program they've ever released without
appropriate debugging?

How about Gate's threats to bury several of his competitors? How about
his strong-arming every computer mf'r and/or vendor? How about his
attempts to eliminate function based industry standards and replace them
with arbitrary Bill-based standards? I could go on, but there are
probably several pro-MS types out there who are already mad enough at me...

AFAIK they've already replaced lots of employees with "contractors" who
get about 1/2 the pay, that was the policy of the '90s. Now they are
trying to hype their corporate neighborliness while quietly moving as
much as possible of their operation to 3rd world countries where people
work for pennies.

Microsoft??? Bravo Doug,

The whoever posted MS as an example sure makes themselves look about as
stupid as they possible can.

MS millionaires? I think there were more Labor Boss that achieved that
status. Both very good examples a GREED!!

Oh Well, enough!!!

Software does crash a fair amount, most noticeably third party software in a
windows environment.

Ballpark number? 1,000 10,000? 100,000?



4. How many jobs have Microsoft moved offshore?

Lots, actually (see #3 above)

Let's see a few references. Not jobs created offshore, but actual jobs moved
away.


5. How many people have become millionaires owning Microsoft stock?

Probably fewer than #2 above.

If the employees of microsoft became millionaires by stock option and
others, not working for microsoft also became millionaires by owning stock,
then wouldn't this number be greater than the people in #2?


6. Point out 3 examples of greed at Microsoft.

Is greed really delivering a product that doesn't work in every environment?


GREED: "a selfish desire for more than one needs or deserves." Who
determines what Bill Gates needs or deserves? You or Bill Gates? I view
greed as desire for the unearned. Gates earned every penny. No one was
coerced into buying his product. Apple exists and sells computers with
operating systems.

Amen!

His competitors are also out to bury him. A large number of companies have
created industry standards. Just because we call paper tissues Kleenex is
that because the people at Kleenex were greedy?
