Microsoft gives shareholders 75 Billion 07/21/2004 04:20 PM

Wow imagine sitting around the board room and yawning and suggesting to throw 75 billion dollars back to the investors. That would wake you up but heck if they have so much money they ought to give me a call. I have a couple of ideas, just need someone smarter than I am to get it rolling. The bad thing about the really good ideas is that you have to be careful in who you tell or the next thing you know your idea is launched by the person you talked to. I guess that's why I have to sign Non Disclosure agreements all the time. Anyway congrats to the stock holders now if only Intel could afford to do something like that I would be a happy man.
