wassup hands!?!?! I always cause a stink when people praise Bill Gates.. He is nothing more than a business man.. but far from a genious in my opinion.. just very lucky! I remember the statement he made regarding the internet that has been forgotten by so many.. something to the effect of 'I see the internet as nothing more than a novelty. a fad that will fade as quickly as it started' of course, it was worded differently but that was a point Bill Gates was making when asked why microsoft wasnt putting resources into the internet. He lacks vision, creativity. The only thing Microsoft is good for is stunting growth by squashing competitors. 6 months after that foolish statement about the internet, microsoft decided to jump in with both feet.. Once again, stealing someone elses ideas (netscape) and the rest is history..
