Re: Samsung said by Suntop:Oh on a side note, Microsoft is just as bad. But they stole from APPLE who stole.... It is so sad no one remembers computer history. For example M$-Dos was bought for around $50,000 from Seattle Computer. Which is not even 10% of what Microsoft should of given the creator of DOS. They should have at least given the creator a few million.
If you want to appear more than 13 years old, I recommend that you cool it with the "M$." That stuff became old in 2002.
As a matter of fact, the creator of MS-DOS did get millions -- at least a few, possibly more.
Tim Patterson later went to work for Microsoft over three separate stretches. The pre-IPO stock options he got would've made him a deca-millionaire, assuming they vested before he left.
He also went back to work for Microsoft post-IPO, in 1990. This time, he stayed 8 years, so those options definitely vested. He would've become at least a millionaire, even if he sold immediately upon vesting. If he held onto them until he left, he would've become a multi-millionaire. |

Choteau, MT | My apologies. I did not mean to make you think that. Excuse me for being a lil silly when I WROTE IT. And thank you for letting me know that he did get paid properly for that. I did not know that till now. |

| Don't worry about it. I've also written silly things from time to time.
Best way I've found of avoiding this is to do my research ahead of time. That way, I can form my opinions based on facts instead of assumptions. |

No.. its part of the official club handshake.  I know suntop is a member sort of like the handshakes of masons in the past.
I use it all the time, and will continue to use any as a form of derogatory reference to them, crapple and other companies.
If you would like I have some other terms for them which I would be glad to use... but they most definitely are not for the "kumbaya pc" crowd here, so m$ and crapple, crapble will have to suffice.
