Bill Gates Steals More Of My Soul


For the last six years, through windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP I have been able to at least have a non-microsoft OS for a key computing device: my Palm IIIxe.

After only a year and a quarter, my Motorola cel phone dies (no wonder they're having problems). I do the math on replacing the phone, acknowledge that at 6 years the old palm is bound to go soon and add the cost of a new PDA and decide that a smartphone is the way to go.

Off I go to Verizon to get a Palm Treo. Like all Palms before, the Treo has used the Palm OS. That is until the Treo 700. That's a Microsoft OS.

Bill Gates truly owns the world.
