Replying to my own post? It seems some of you are using 
EvilEmpire(tm) in conjunction with what I assume is GW in the UK? As 
opposed to MS in Seattle? I may have just had a crossed wire here 
(well two, since the reply wasn't really meant to go to the list - 
Apologies to all for that - this isn't comp.os.anything.advocacy). A 
thousand pardons.  Whenever I here Evil Empire....that's the one I'm 
thinking of - run (a la Ghengis Khan) by Bill Gates, world's richest 
nerd. 

This brings to mind the question of which organization had EvilEmpire 
attached to it first. I suspect MicroSpunge did, but I'm not sure. 

And has anyone heard the old saw "Politics/Economics is merely a 
continuation of war by other means" (or something to that effect). If 
that is true, then a game simulating the corporate world and hostile 
takeovers could be considered (in some lights) a "wargame"...... :)
