- donall 14y agoCan you provide more detail about your source?
- veyron 14y agoFriend works for MS. (updated parent)
- ComputerGuru 14y agoMaybe I'm being really thick here, but what does MS have to do with this?
- desigooner 14y agoMS = Morgan Stanley perhaps, the lead underwriter.
- veyron 14y agoSorry about that, but 'MS' = Morgan Stanley.
- ComputerGuru 14y agoAh, of course. In my line of work 999 times out of a 1000, MS is Microsoft ;-) The other 0.1% would be multiple sclerosis.
- flogic 14y agoFor programmers, "MS" auto expands to Microsoft. I'm guessing you meant "Morgan Stanley" instead? Took me a minute or 2 to guess that.
- veyron 14y agoSorry about that -- I mentally associate MSFT (the stock symbol) with Microsoft and MS with Morgan Stanley Glad to see I'm officially not considered a programmer :)
