qdog, I imagine $ill did see a fish walking down the street. When one is hunting very big game, one must use guile, cunning and use the perception of the hunted against themselves. $ill Gates is definitely big game. So he saw a fish coming down the road. Well, maybe he did! But we can't be responsible for his perceptions now can we? Okay, disguising ourselves as fish was a bit unfair.

If $ill wants to look at a lion and see a fish, good luck to him. Ramsey looks at the world through a rose coloured wallet, $ill has 'embrace and expand' fish spectacles on. Okay, so maybe Irwin looked liked a benign old prof from Hicksville San Diego rather than a lion. But I'm sure $ill wasn't quite that naive and knew $ill was hunting fairly big fish too - probably thought he spotted a world record beating striped marlin and next thing $ill knows, he's got Irwin on the hook [well, that's what he saw and yes, I know I'm mixing metaphors away from 3 Card Monty].

I've bet nearly all my money that $ill won't do to Q! what he does to all the other fish. So far so good too! $182 today. I think WK will work out as a symbiotic relationship rather than parasitic or predatorial, even though $ill might prefer the predation model. Animal training is fun. Irwin has trained a LOT of animals, from hagfish to gorillas, and the world is singing in dulcet CDMA modulations now. It's good having $ill on a WK leash - the biggest pet gorilla on the planet.

Actually you are wrong when you say $ill has only one thing on his mind [being how to expand his clutches in the computing realm]. He's also figuring out how to give away a lot of money. Some would say that's a simple thing to do, and it is, but not if you like achieving really neat things to suit yourself. So I heard he's just given another $5bn to his foundation for a total of $17bn with the aim of causing a lot of trouble for diseases and to sort out some computers for It.

Sure, nobody has to use WWWeb [Windows Wireless Web] but I bet they do and do it through WK. What do you think people will use instead of that?
