Bill G. saw a computer on every desktop back when computers wher only mainframes and mini's.

Read what you have typoed, Reggie. Time for a little context elaboration, independent of the ineffable Mind of Reg(TM). From my old-time favorite source:

And by the way, the unabridged version of that famous Gates motto is: "a computer on every desk and in every home, all running Microsoft software." (from around.com, always readily available in you-know-whose profile here)

The Mind of Reg(TM), operating in cheesy high school debate mode, prefers the Encarta version. "Innovative" Microsoft has gone a long way with its various bought and cloned products, the early PC killer apps word processor and spreadsheet, and the bought elsewhere DOS and Web Browser. But brilliant Bill had his eye on the monopoly prize right from the start. He's just a software engineer, you know, that's why he's my hero.

Cheers, Dan.
