Rohit, Rohit, Rohit..
Again grasshopper you failed to listen to your buddy, CobraBoy.
I have been telling people it would come to this for a LONG time. Of course
everyone thought I was 1) nuts, or 2) an asshole, but again as usual I'm right.
See if any of you had gone out and killed brain cells as I had you would
have picked up a few things. This is what I call the "Budwiser Effect." And
no, I don't mean heartburn and farts.
You see Budwiser has about 90% of the domestic beer market. They HAVE to
allow Coors and Miller to compete to keep the feds off their back.
Anti-trust and stuff. So I predicted a looong time ago that the Budwiser
effect would eventually come into the fracas with computers. Ms will have to
prop up Apple.
The thing that I found more amazing than this though is the PR on
www.microsoft.com about IE 3.0. It read like they were releasing a Mac
version also. And I get free WSJ with my old Mac 2.01 version.
