OOPS I boobed.
 
I meant to write "Bill Gates has a history of 
landing on his feet". While I admire Bill Gates, I do not claim him as a byline 
partner.

  Lionel,
   
  In england at the moment, the political classes 
  are rushing round, getting everyone to sign and countersign their pledges and 
  counter pledges as the circus tunes up for an impending election. Glad to see 
  you are getting in on the countersigning act, and I admire the class of your 
  byeline partner.
   
  Simon

    David:
     
    I mostly agree with you.
    Last year when MS was hauled into court, there 
    were many reports in the media and on the internet that MS was losing many 
    of its key talented people. Did many/any of them return to MS? I think the 
    number of key people was estimated to be about 10% of the software 
    force.
     
    Does anyone have information on 
    this?
