I don't know how "new" this is, but last I recall Fred's sig was the quote on
"DRM == Digitally Retarted Media"; now it reads:

> Never forget: At Microsoft, the engineering department are the
> Ferengi... The marketing and legal departments are the Borg!

I'll admit I'm not the most "hardcore" trekkie, but wouldn't it make more
sense to consider the marketing department to be the Ferengi and the
engineering department to be the borg? As I recall, the Ferengi were all
about material things and making the big "deal", while the borg were the ones
adept at assimulating other culture's "technology"...

[and I suppose the legal department is nothing more than an assimulated
Ferengi ;) ]
