In 1995 Mr gates was still calling the Internet just a passing fad.
In 1999 I was still hearing certain diehard MS fans repeating that opinion
as fact. It took ages to tract that one down.
Like I said earlier it appears all part of a theme in a campaign to
rewrite Gates' past and re-paint him as a visionary rather than the tardy
follower.
Mr. 99%'s employer's employer to the Nth degree probably has him posting
stuff like that as part of the campaign.

That was Robin :-) There was also a story that Bill Gates visited Acorn
Computers in Cambridge in the early 80s and they asked him if he would
like to see their new low cost network called Econet. Apparently he said
"What's a network?" :-) He was pretty late into that too. So it would be
a mistake to write him off just because he is lagging behind again. But
the climate has changed in the last 5 years so its not going to be as
easy.
