You're kidding, right? I mean, your post had 3 measly paragraphs.
My *commentary* was more than that (although, as we all know, my

Incoming bits: The Netscape-Microsoft war hits the mainstream as
Time Magazine's cover story. Great cover of Gates' mug in a Web,
waiting for some spider to suck the life blood out of him.
Or is it the other way around?
Anyway, I'll post the pathfinder.com corresponding article in my
next fork post. But first...

Ugh. Wolfpack. HP already *has* *a* *product* that does this.
Why oh why does the world wait for Microsoft?

Maybe I should be FoRK's official AntiBitboy (tm). Anything I post, you
assume the opposite. It will certainly be true for the "Winner Take
All" article I'm about to post...

them to wait and see before committing themselves to a competitor's
