[OLUG] We Know Where They Are Really Going

[Mike Hostetler]

You have to remember that this is the same corporation that paid who-knows-how-many millions
to use the Stone's song "Start Me Up" for a Windows 95 commercial.  Of course, they didn't
play the best part of the song, where Mick Jaggar sings, "You make a grown man cry" over and
over.

Note that I did not even mention how accurate the part they skipped is in relation to the
product that they are advertising.
