That WSJ article was very insightful.
Did anyone catch the Pirates of Silicon Valley last night about Jobs and Gates!?
I thought it was very well done and it didn't sugar-coat anything. Although I knew the story, the dramatic and linear presentation was
compelling.
When you read the WSJ article in the context of the egos of the major players it is much more deliscious.

The gave a ironic and satiric the "suits" at IBM who gave Gates a blank check and the "suits" at Xerox who made fun of their own employees invention of the mouse and grapics.

It reminds me of all the "intelligentsia" who say AOL lacks a "broadband strategy"

I love it when I can find confirmation of my own preconceived notions.
JUST MY HUMBLE OPINION!

GoodDay!
