That's true, its a joke even if they give you 'toys for turnins' ;-)

Had an interesting discussion of this with someone yesterday.
Basically we decided that it would get REALLY interesting if

their bid turned over to micro$oft.
We also decided that all RFQs should be marked PROPRIETARY
and CONFIDENTIAL...
