RE: Bill Gates gets another blue screen in public

Bill Gates has done one thing for our industry and it should not be
belittled.  The new paradigm is to get software out there for users to touch
and feel.  Don't worry about glitches.  If the users like it, fix it.  If
they reject it, go on to something else and keep your losses small.  That
makes sense to me.

I really loved DeGroot's line about
> Microsoft was founded by programmers and is still run by programmers
 
Try "Founded (and still run) by LOUSY programmers"!
 
Can you imagine if the software for the Apollo program were written by
Microsloth, instead of by MIT's finest minds? All those "1201 program
alarms" probably would have LITERALLY crashed the Lunar Module.
