Michael, no, I am not particularly interested in that.  I am optimistic on 
too many other areas to want to dither on ontically about Microsoft, George 
Bush, or McDonalds hamburgers.

I have been unsuccessful at conveying the ontological giganticism which 
appears to me to be a dead on.  I'll get back to you in a few days on that
