Dear Charles,

I wish to assure you that Glide was developed and implemented using
Macromedia and Adobe products, not Microsoft. Moreover, the plug-in
player required to view the Glide Project is made by Macromedia and
works with Netscape as well as other browsers on the Windows, Macintosh,
Sun Solaris, and Linux platforms, so it is very, very possible to view
our site without having to engage in commerce with the evil empire.

Best regards,
Daniel
