I'm sure that's quite true. Funny, because Gates was the quintessential dork-made-good. He was *them* oh-so-many years ago, and now they hate him because he has a 36-car garage. Big f'n deal.
If the geek peeps really want somebody to hate, they should have picked Larry Ellison over at Oracle. Now *there* lies a buttmunch of biblical proportions. That guy is just crying for a disgruntled employee to head to the roof with a rifle. He has even managed to piss off the Redwood City council with his arrogance with regard to his tendency to run his G-5 jet into and out of the redwood city airport at all hours of the night.
Sigh... wish geeks would be a little less childish sometimes. At least the ones I work with are ok. I like working with geeks, I just don't like working with their little attitudes.
