[Klug-general] Bill Gates the Stupid Image - not Bill Gates the Stupid Person

[Stephen Ryan]

Please note, presumably we are talking about Bill Gates the image here, the
illusory frankenstein software industry monster maker. I can't speak
personally about him  because i don't know him personally - all i will say
is that he probably sleeps, eats, shits and dies in a similar fashion to
everybody else.
 
The only real time when i really wanted to stick my finger in his eye
(personally)  was when someone i care very dearly about was uploading photos
of antiques on to Ebay and some a*hole managed to scramble her hard disk.
 
Yea... i do want the software industry to start taking responsibility. And
why shouldn't we start by looking at what people got wrong.... rather than
listening to the noise of the ego-mungers, who presumably want the unreal
messages to come across.. Bill Gates the billionaire, Bill Gates the
philanpropist, Bill Gates - son of America etc.
 
So Bill Gates is a screw-up and now its left for all us good people to sort
his screw-ups out.
