| #2 A lot of people have a real hard-on for Gates and MicroSoft in general. But I remember back when the different brand of computers could not talk to one another and we heard the "why can't we have a common langauge?". Well he gave us one and got rich in the process. At least he's putting his money where his mouth is. The other "celebrat" I have to admire is Bono. I may agree with his politics but when it comes to the causes he's involved in he walks the walk. |
