I once worked for a company that was even more arrogant than Microsoft.
Worked for them for 18 years.
Had a lot of fun there.
Travel all over the world.
They were a fortune 20 Company.
Big, powerful, old line, and arrogant.
Just too damn arrogant for the customers.
They bankrupted a few years back.
Nobody misses them.
Microsoft reminds me of them.
Have a bet with a friend that Microsoft stock is going to single didgets.
He does not believe it. I do.
Seen it bedore DEC, Xerox and several others:
DEC $240 to $3 in 6 months.
Wonder if anyone is going to miss Microsoft.
I won't.
Just too damn arrogant.
Meantime I do my best to forget about them because I honestly don't care what
they do or don't do.
