$100M is 3x what the Internet backbone cost last year. Why doesn't he just
give all Internet users a free account for 3 years?  That'll buy market
share.


And 95% of all US adults is triple the number who are functionally literate
enough to  read even the onscreen instructions in order to use Marvel.
Maybe the real marvel is what a  sucker Gates has been for some hype ad
agency. Or did they take MSFT stock in exchange too, like Intuit?

Uh-oh...
