Y'know, the windows bashing and gates bashing has left the arena of
intelligent complaints and gone into habitual rudeness. We really wanna
behave that way? I do see good things about windows. It has brought a lot
more people into contact with each other, people who can't drive a computer
themselves. It has opened computing up to the ordinary man and woman. Mr.
Gates was raised common, poor maybe, though I'm not sure about that, and he
used his talents, skills and wit to become wealthy and powerful. He
continues to do that to stay wealthy and powerful and there are few men who
wouldn't fall into that trap. "power corrupts, absolute power corrupts
absolutely". When you are standing on the mountain, you don't see the
people anymore, just their works. I don't respect what Gates does, but I
admire how he did it!
Sorry, Caspar, to single you out for a group lecturing!

I thought I was funny but it's not unusual to find I'm wrong!
