I agree that I do not think that if we all swtiched to MAC it would make a difference. But we should at least take a few minutes to let Bill Gates know how we feel about this. Maybe if we all wrote or called and said that if you are going to support an organization like HSUS, you should also provide the same support options to the Safari Club.
I found the article in Bowhutning World ( Thanks to the person who mention that ) and the address is listed as 1 Microsoft way, Redmond WA 98052 and the FAX # is 425-936-7329. Wouldn't it be great it we all took the time to send them a letter. No cussin' or irate issue's, just to let them know that there are a lot of folks out there that don't agree with what they are doing. In the article is listed a similar campaign with Jeep and Iams amoungst them and when thousands of Sportsmen and women levied propest, they pulled there support. It is easy to just say OH Well, but it only takes a few minutes to type up paper and fax or mail it. Who knows we could just make a difference.

A hundred thou from Microsoft. I call that insulting the HS. Like throwing them a quarter, saying here, quit bothering me.

The local HS is getting some crap in the local paper. Seems someone lost a cat 18 months ago. They reported it to the HS and never heard another thing about it. They go down to them 18 months later to get another and there is there cat. It's been there for 17 months. They say that's our cat will take him. The freak zone down there says no way. The reason. The cat didn't seem to warm up to them. The owner clarified the comment. Turns out it was, get this, the second get acquainted visit set up by the HS and the cat had just gotten some shot for a problem with it's eye. It, after being called came right to them.

Here's the rat killer. The cat helped a disabled kid sleep.

This isn't true. Microsoft once owned stock in Apple and a significant chunk for that matter ~ 7-10 years ago. They sold most of their shares off back in 2000 and the shares that they did hold were non-voting shares.

There was a special on A&E Biography a couple of months back that outlined Bill Gates history. Interesting stuff...Bill Gates has been at the right place at the right time throughout his career.

I own a MAC Powerbook Pro and a PC. Although more expensive, the MAC just runs and runs so in my eyes worth it.

In reply to nodog and the local HS. This is where the HSUS get folks, The HSUS has nothing to do with yor local Humane society, They are a completely seperate organization that calls itself the Humane society of the US and does not take in cats and dogs or have them spayed or adopted. They are just like PETA and collect money to go after things like hunting, But by registering their name as the HSUS, folks assume that they are the same organization as their local Humane Society and get folks to give them money under what I consider False pretenses. It shows you how low they will go to get money for their cause.
