Wow!?!? Are you sure it isn't a test copy that expires soon? I got my IntelliMouse--but the damn thing isn't working with my laptop. I spent hours on the phone with Microsoft themselves, and that damn thing couldn't be fixed $%@#$!!! Hmm, either the mouse goes, or my laptop (2 weeks old) goes....Guess which! Sal Habash P.S. Check your email.

I got the real thing SAL ... Office Professional 97 ... for free (well, actually all the shareholders including yourself paid for it) Thanks for saving me $600 ... They also gave me a free CE t-shirt and a free 97 Baseball cap ...

Well, I might have to start going to those conferences.... Do they charge admission? Or are you in one of their developer programs? BTW, I don't care if I paid for your CD-ROM, because MSFT always pays big dividends to their shareholders (oops, they don't pay "dividends," their stock just goes up, and up, and up,....) Sal Habash

The conference are for resellers only .... Well, let me rephrase that ... anyone can go, but only the resellers can get the "real" copy (as oppose to the one 90 day trial version) A friend is a reseller ( I do consulting for him) we both received a "free" copy of Office Pro 97 .... No admission charge ... Find a friend from COMP USA or Best Buy ... They will tell you about it .... They also raffle out many other software ... and hardware (IntelliRAT, Joysticks, and MS keyboard) I think everyone received a free t-shirt ... If this is not bad enough, MSFT have Babes doing the presentation to tease all the gumps at the show ... Believe me, you will feel like you are in Revenge of the Nerds part VI ...

Boy, I shouldn't butt in here (Hi Sal) but I just stumbled in on this and I got to wonder: "They said Microsoft's current market capitalization adjusted for inflation is what IBM's was in 1951. From that point, over the next 9 years IBM went up 16 times in value." Microsoft's current market cap is $130 billion or so, #4 overall and pretty close to the current #1, GE at $170 billion. Do you guys really think Microsoft will be worth $2 trillion in 9 years? The company has had a great run, but it's a large cap stock now. All the new worlds Mr. Bill has in his sights have established players who might be a little harder to roll over that lotus and wordperfect. Cheers, Dan.

We got it too but it cost $US65 with Tshirt/cap (made in NZ!) I like the new product and it will drive sales. That has already started for us. We will be bundling it with our new PC's this month. This should be a good year for PC sales as the old 386 customers of 4-5 years ago are now returning for upgrades or replacements along with a lot of early 486 adopters. They all want the latest and Intels MMX chip is hot. BTW Sal, Microsoft doesn't pay dividends so how do I impute a dividend cover which my model requires ? Any thoughts ? Kevin
