Right on!!!!!!!!! I, too, believe that Micros' success is in Gates.
Plus, the  programs that Microsoft makes are slightly more simple for
the "Newbies" and "Non-Com" type people. I use Netscape 3.0. I think
it is much better then IE 3.0. I get better performace, speed, and
handleing of "special" situations.
