    Since folks seem inclined to rag on Microsoft, I compiled a quick digest.
    These are jokes which are funny, but which didn't really warrant posting
    separately. I post such a digest whenever I have enough entries to warrant
    it. Particularly selective readers will probably not enjoy the digests, and
    may want to killfile RHF jokes with "Digest" in the title - ed.

    Today in USA Today, experts were quoted as saying that the breakup of
    Microsoft would result in shoddy products and missed deadlines...

    And Microsoft is worrying about being able to do business as usual.

    The justice department has released it's recommendations on
    names for the two parts of Microsoft, post split:

    MICROS~1 and MICROS~2

    Quote of the day by Doug Steinfeld:

    "I think we should partition Microsoft into an OS company (called "C:") and

    an apps company ("D:"). Then we should blow away both partitions...."

    Microsoft has argued in court that the US government's plan to break up the
    company is "defective in numerous respects, making the document vague and
    ambiguous."

    In which respect it's much like Microsoft's documentation.

    An explosive device of some kind detonated at the Microsoft South Africa
    offices in Johannesburg early this morning. Nobody was hurt and no data was
    lost. Police however estimate that it will take around 15 years to interview
    all the suspects.

    Immediately after the announcement by Judge Penfield of splitting the
    company in two, Microsoft sued Micro.Com Specialists, LLC, and Software
    Research, Inc. (owners of www.soft.com) for infringement of copyrights and
    cyber-squatting.

    If you post instead of mailing, it screws up the reply-address sometimes.
