Did you see that movie? “Pirates of the Silicon Valley’? That film pretty well firmed up my opinion about Gates. Unfortunately his product became the most affordable; that is why he made it big while Jobs has been the true visionary.

Life is not fair...but paybacks are hell.

No, I haven't seen it yet, but will definitely put it on my list. Thanks!

I remember wondering why anyone would purchase anything created by Gates, but then quickly realized the imbalance between what I wanted and what I could afford.

Friends of mine in Europe have asked me many times why any American would own anything made by Microsoft. In the case of my friends, it's not European snobbery as much as a fear of viruses and wasting money and time with crashes. LOL, it kind of reminds me of many Americans' fear of buying a Yugo.
