Yea, I suspect that we all do it. Back in the 80's, everybody shorted 
everything due to 300B and 1200 B modems. 
Now you have these grammer nazis. sheesh.

So what is the info? If it is real, we will be hearing about it. This admin is 
not totally stupid. They know that there is alot of marketing involved here.
You can bet on it that they will say that Mike told them so and so and it 
proved true. If it is not forthcoming, then I will assume that they pulled a 
fast one. 


Until then, I am sitting back with a open mind to either situations.
