    Since there is some sign of Microsoft's monopoly on operating systems slipping, they initially tried to get a patent on language, figuring that we were in need of that a great deal of the time. That must have failed and they want to control the world door market.

    Starting with one hinge, Bill Gates will be able to keep us out of our houses unless we pay him a royalty fee.

    Hmmmm...Interesting. We now have "Windows". Maybe Uncle Bill is dreaming up a whole new operating system. Somehow, I don't think "Doors-09" has the nice ring to it, but who knows???

    Well, as long as there is a good organ part, I could live with "Doors-09"...

    The "sounds" for the different "clicks" will include parts of their greatest hits!

    Definitely an interesting invention, but I wouldn’t hinge a fortune on it.

    Hmmm, think a Stratocaster would fit in better.
