MacWEEK's Henry Norr puts this week's news in perspective. I see it the same way as Henry. Apple management, such as it is, is miscalculating if they want to restrict what the cloners can do.

Top ten reasons "Why Microsoft Invested in Apple".

Do they have fact-checkers at InfoWorld? What is the 'default' browser on the Mac OS? As Bill Gates said about Apple's UI lawsuit of the early 90s, when MSIE becomes the default Mac browser, very few (if any) bits will change.

I'm looking for the lyrics for a World War I song called Over There. It was the song US soldiers sang about what they were doing. Find me the lyrics for all songs entitled 'Over There'. Do any search engines do this? Symantec's Q&A database (1984) could handle this kind of query. For now I just want the lyrics for the song. Later I want more.

Coooool! Spencer K. Whetstone found the lyrics. Less than 1 hour turnaround. How did he do it? Even Better! Dan Levy found a big WAV file with the music! What a trip. Total goosebumps. I'm so glad I asked this question. BTW, Over There could be the theme song for Frontier 5. And we won't come back till it's over, over there. LOL!
