Hmm
Ruben is spelled with an 'E', unless you want to use the Hebrew
derivitive
Reuvain, which has a different 'e' and an 'a' and an 'i' which is
actually
Rash, Alef, Vov, Vase Non.
Was there any particular point which you disagreed with specifically, or
was it just a kneee jerk, Microsoft protectionist instict on your part
which made you waste so much time making a rectangle in ASCII?
BTW - how is your Baby sitting business doing Jordan? And did you ever
find the train going in the correct direction that day from the 59th
street
station? Just asking, because we nearly split our sides open in
laughter when
those subway doors closed on you that day.
I think that was a day you had maybe 1 too many Coors.
In any event, if they want to put my picture on their book because of
my small,
but essential insight into Microsofts misuse of it's (and screw it, I
just feel like
spelling it this way) desktop monopoly and anti-competitive practices,
I'd be very
happy as long as they read my licensing agreement. After all, I
believe in the principle
that it doesn't matter what they say about me as long as they mention
me. All publicity
is good publicity!
Ruben
