| How does that sound to you? Like a plan? Where is the goal post? I mean the

| long ago, the few that were not replaced with Microsoft folks. What is the
| effect of Microsoft changing the protocols in the compliance work?

Billy 'Sweater' Gates must be very proud of himself. He phoned presidents, too.
