Sizeable? ~17% was rather significant. Anyone know whether Microsoft's stake was bought out or carried over when UU sold to MFS? -- Jesse On Wed, 1 Oct 1997, Steve Mansfield wrote:
Doesn't Bill Gates own some portion of the WC conglomerate? It sures smells like a BG thing. Microsquish owns the desktop/Servers and WC owns the Internet/ Telecommunications, and Bill owns them both? Thrills, gotta love the advances we would see then, mainly in price....He used to own a sizeable chunk of UUNET, back before they got bought by MFS and then Worldcom. His chunk these days probably isn't so sizeable any more. Steve Mansfield steve () nwnet net NorthWestNet Network Engineer 425-649-7467
