  Actually Barney 98 (ha! it'll be '00) will have ten 400mhz Pics in
it.  And to reduce manufacturing overhead, he'll buy Microchip.  Then
you have to buy a Barney to get your chips, since Microsoftchip will
only sell the chips to OEMs for only $.10ea/qty 1/2 million.  Then you
only have to purchase your Microsoftpicchip Windowspic ce/lite 98 for
each chip at only $89.95.  (Which also includes your free copy of
internet explorer for the pic!)  By the time your first Microsoftchip
PIC chip finishes booting and contacting the MSN to tell what other
illegal Microsoft products are operating in your home, you'll be in love
with Mr. Gates' new vision for your PIC embedded computing!
