<< I found that Microsoft has bought itself space in our Federal Facilites to
advertise its newest attempt at an OS. I was at the Post Office trying to
mail packages and there on the counters and on the wall was advertising and
free Demo CDs for XP. I am not sure about you, but I was appalled and
disgusted that convicted Criminal Enterprises were able to BUY into the
Government, in such a manner as to make it appear that the US Goverment
endorses the actions they just convicted microsoft of, and is willing to
further their criminal activities.

AS a non-American admirer of lots of things from ther US, I was appalled that
Microsoft is to be allowed to grab a monopoly of educational computing by
'Giving' schools obsolete computers. Americans must protest to their elected
representatives in the strongest of terms. Your enemies will seize on things
like this to back up their propaganda that US is 'fundamentally corrupt'.
This is not my opinion by the way, but it does sometimes seem that there are
corrupt practices entrenched in your political system.
