    call me a fool but... For the benefit in keeping this kid-sister safe I thought I would replicate what I saw, with a link to this site governing stocks...[^] It was a link highlighting a number of things with a picture of Bill Gates.. to quote... "Since creating Microsoft in 1975, Bill Gates has held an almost perfect monopoly...Allowing him to rack up a $50 billion fortune along the way...But right now he is nervous...The Microsoft software is obsolete.And 72% of Japanese are already...Using the technology that will replace it...New reports reveals the stock ticker of the company will profit most from the 'Death of Microsoft'" Any ideas if this is a scam/spam/whatnot? Have a peaceful new year to you all and best wishes, Tom. :)

              Yeah, Microsoft is shite, I am all using WIndows 7 now.

              Personally, I love the idea that Raymond spends his nights posting bad regexs to mailing lists under the pseudonym of Jane Smith. He'd be like a super hero, only more nerdy and less useful. [Trevel]

                scam/spam; guaranteed! As has often been said "If it sounds too good to be true, then it is". If someone offers you a sure fire way to make money on the stock market they are lying.

What was that saying...'Fool me once - shame on you, Fool me twice - shame on me'... :laugh: Yeah...I clicked on the link and it prompted for an email to download the report which I did not... Oh well...how are they able to post that kind of advert on a site like that is beyond me... Hope you all had a lovely Holiday and the very best for 2010 to you... Take care, Tom. :-D
