No, you are. In the first link, the author says "While I certainly do not know if Gates has Asperger's...." It seems like politically targetted supposition. As for the headline, "Would you have allowed this man (Bill Gates) to be born?", I can think of a large number of people in the Open Source community who would have given you a sharp sixpennyworth. Has he ever produced software that works? Has he ever compensated anyone for the trail of disasters that is his windowing software. As for your other three links, I can't be bothered. I personally think you have never met anyone with Autism in your life and do not know your arse from your elbow. Maybe I am wrong. Uns. ------------------------ Yahoo!
