[CrackMonkey] No Taxes

[Peter Peterson II]

begin  Seth David Schoen quotation:

Not to mention that MICROS~1 has now infected these .orgs with the MSV
-- Microsoft Virus where the [apparent] best choices for future software
and support come through MS -- resulting in future buys of MS endowed
(36DD) hardware and office suites.
