Posted June 15, 2006 I dunno if anyone else would do the same Bard? How many CEOs do you know of who step down to work for charities? Bill Gates is one of the last of the old guard of Microsoft, the Microsoft who crippled progression by buying out any rivals instantly. The new guys are much better:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 16, 2006 He is a nice person, didn't he leave lots of his money to charity in his will? I heard that he's leaving one million to each of his kids, then giving the rest to charity. And that notepad thing is weird... the message that comes out appears to mean nothing in both types of written Chinese, and it definitely isn't Japanese. Does it just convert roman letters to Chinese ones or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
