Two names synonymous with Seattle will come together when Bill Gates appears on NBC's "Frasier" November 13th. Software meets sitcom. Gates, who runs a large software firm in the Seattle area, didn't need a crash course in method acting -- he plays himself, paying a visit to Dr. Frasier Crane's radio show, which is set in Seattle. Gates offers to take a few calls and ends up nattering ad nauseum about Microsoft and its stuff. NBC seems pretty geeked about the milestone show, which is "Frasier"'s 200th episode. >> CLICK: http://digitalmass.boston.com/news/2001/10/23/gates_frasier.html ____________________________________________________________________ ::::::::::::::::::: SEARCHWIN2000 CONTACTS ::::::::::::::::::: MARILYN COHODAS, Site Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send me your original articles and best practices. ____________________________________________________________________ CHRISTINE POLEWARCZYK, Assistant Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send me your tips, White Papers, and favorite Web sites. ____________________________________________________________________ MARGARET ROUSE, Assistant Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send me your Ask the Expert questions or post them in our Discussion Forums for a quicker response. ____________________________________________________________________ ED PARRY, News Editor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Send me your news, press releases and product announcements. ____________________________________________________________________ MIKE KELLY ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) >> Contact me to sponsor this or any other TechTarget newsletter. ____________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ :::::::::::::::::::: ABOUT THIS NEWSLETTER ::::::::::::::::::::: Created by TechTarget (http://www.techtarget.com) TechTarget - The Most Targeted IT Media Copyright 2001, All Rights Reserved.
