YES TIM. IT WAS ALL A DREAM. (You're really aboard the SDF-1, around
Jupiter, with a bandage over your head (yet, perfect hair; the bridge bunnies
are coming to visit http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/statue/217/dpf01.jpg .))

Microsoft is still the geeky little ramshackle company where Paul Allen is busy
doing the books, yet they just can't make a decent buck pushing their CORBA
application domains or trying to buy out Bjarne Strousup. OS/2 5 is gonna crush
them if they don't get federal assistance.
