Re: Off topic: Source Code to Windows 2000

LOL! So finally the secret is out.

Reminds me of a long-since-demised company that sold a "Memory Expander" 
for PCs. The software got rave reviews and sold very well until a 
computer magazine found out that it did exactly nothing. Except of 
course it displayed fancy-looking gauges showing how much memory you had 
supposedly added by using the software.

Thanks for a good laugh, and best regards,
