Bill Gates took a silly little operating system called DOS and turned it into a fortune. Isnt this what every American wants to do. I agree that Microsoft has done a lot of questionable things but do you actually think Mr. Gates is sitting in an office directing everything that the company does? I saw an interview with him one time, he had no idea how much money his house was costing to be built. Do you think he is concerned with the running of Microsoft? He hires people to make these decisions and see that things run well and make money. Bill Gates made his money, its his money, not yours, not mine, not anybodies but his. I saw another show that was talking about how much money he has given away. I dont remember the exact figure but it was millions and millions of dollars. He has provided scholorships for poor students, given money to schools who couldnt aford computers for the schools. In my state he gave a county a huge sum of money so they could update their library and paid for the internet connection. By the way, this is his money hes giving away, not Microsofts.

All the people who bitch and moan about how much money he has, they are just plain jealous. I hate hearing people who dont have complain about people who do and are just too lazy to get off their lazy asses.


Ok this tirade is over ;-D Happy happy everybody.
