Microslosh Strikes Again

Both Jivha and AtAT (see third story on the page) are carrying the story of Michael (commonly known as Mike) Rowe and his software company's domain: MikeRoweSoft Design. Apparently he is being harrassed by Microslosh lawyers because they keep getting his site instead of www.microslosh.com. If I didn't know some decent lawyers , I'd be tempted to make some crack here about lawyers being unable to spell.

AtAT of course take the joke to the extreme by pointing out the amazing 'Microslosh Bob(tm)' joke (which I will post separately) which predicted that Microslosh would sue people for using their own names and now it has actually happened. Just wait till all those other jokes start coming true....

Microslosh Watch I guess all those windblows admins out there are going to be looking at the training catalogues today. Even allowing for the usual date-slippage from Uncle Bill, it is fairly clear that the writing is on the wall for the days of Windblows connected to ...
