If Bill had been in charge of Apple he probably would be worth 60 billion
dollars today, Apple would rule the world and people would be sayin some-
thing like, "Poor Microsoft. They once seemed to have so much potential. 
I wonder if things might have turned out differently if Billy G had been
in charge of Microsoft and Steve Jobs of Apple"

Personally, I enjoy dropping in from time to time on the newsgroup alt.
fan.Bill-Gates. It a group of frustrated techno-geek losers who spend
their time bashing Billy G and lamenting their own failure at recogni-
tion and success. The typical post starts out something like: "I'm
a ten-times better programmer than Bill Gates ever was. You won't be-
lieve how I customized my 8088 computer and tweaked up the performance
of MS-DOS 1. (Three pages of technical details follow) The only reason
that drooling moron Bill Gates is worth 40 Billion dollars today is
because he is a lucky, dishonest, greedy, uncaring, opportunistic sob who
just got all the breaks. There's no justice in the world!" Yeah. Right.
