France has zero problem with us, it is our stupid president.: Hopefully there will be a regime change this fall. Ok, the French are also fed up with Microsofts dirty tricks, and the billions drained out of the French economoy every year. Microsoft is really hurting American businesses, there is the tendency to think we are all like Microsoft. It will take some time to repair the damage.

Oh, I was in Paris 3 years ago. That is a beautiful place. The people were extremely friendly and helpful.; Posted by: DonnieBoy Posted on: 02/12/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
