Re: Bill Gates gets another blue screen in public -- MIDRANGE-L

I wouldn't give Bill Gates credit for that. Thank the open source movement and companies like Google.

Thanx, PLA

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.
