    i don't know where all the hate for this guy comes from. he advanced communications in such a way as to alter the way the world actually works.

    in any case. he's said that he's leaving each child $10M (or something) and the rest is going to charity; that's billions of dollars.

    if you had billions of dollars, would you give it all away to charity?

    You hear that on VH1? :p

    I'm sure it's going to HIS charity, but charity is charity.

    I think Bill Gates is awesome. People hate him because they hate Microsoft.

    I think it's funny he's even working full-time. In 2 years he's moving to part-time? I wonder what he does there as Chief Software Architect? And he's CEO as well... and will remain so.

    I wonder if it's better to be Bil Gate's son or the pauper outside Bil Gate's castle.
