Alvin, you know nothing of Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer - that is obvious. I 
don't have the time nor the space here to list all of the immoral and illegal 
acts these two and their company have committed. Yes. Linus is an atheist, 
but there's a HUGE difference between what he has done in business (honesty 
ves despicable illegal actions of Gates). Not to mention the THOUSANDS of 
dollars given to Planned Parenthood to kill the unborn, and other liberal 
groups. Yes, we're to pray for them and love them. But, that has nothing to 
do with telling the truth about the company and what it and they have done! 
Finally, I'm beginning to get pastors to realize that supporting M$ is 
contrary to their beliefs. 'Slow process.
