<OT> What If?

[Joel Hammer]

Let's not forget that Gutenberg spent a lot of his time in court trying
to enforce his monopoly on movable printing technology. I believe he was
unsuccessful, and he never made any big money off his invention. They
don't emphasize that in the standard history books. If Gutenberg
had enforced his monopoly, he might have risen to become a great
philanthropist, like Mr. Gates.

At least we can say that MS is not going soft (no pun intended). And,
although Mr. Gates has been quite harsh on his competitors, he hasn't
been caught robbing his stockholders, yet, unlike many other industry
titans in the last several years.
