[plug] [OFF TOPIC] MS Humour...

[Kim Covil]

Not sure if you lot have seen this... Date is old but it the first time 
I have seen it pass by... :)

>>From the UK edition of 'PC Week' 31 march, 1998:
>
>  "The residents of Silicon Valley are more confused than usual after a
>billboard campaign by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society of America.
>  "One of the ads uses the slogan "MS: It's not a software company"
>exploiting the fame of a certain company to draw attention to an altogether
>worthier cause. Requests to comment on the campaign have been met by a surly
>silence by Microsoft which doesn't relish the association of ideas, but is
>painfully aware that it can't afford to appear insensitive over such an
>issue.
>  "Seasoned IT professionals will have no trouble telling the two MS's
>apart. One is a debilitating and surprisingly widespread affliction that
>renders the sufferer barely able to perform the simplest task. The other is
>a disease."
