>> Gates stole CP/M from Gary Kildall

I have to disagree there.

Kildall got the same offer from IBM suits that Gates did, to supply an operating system for the nascent IBM PC. Kildall, however, turn them down cold and was as arrogant as he could possibly be. You see, he was already making what he thought was big money from CP/M and didn’t want to give anything away to potential competitors. Not realizing, of course, that IBM had the resources to cut him off at the knees.

Gates didn’t have any OS to give to the IBM guys, but he did know a fellow across the street who did. He bought DOS from that dude for $30,000 and his team began immediately tailoring it to work on the PC.

Now if you want to talk about the Windows GUI, yeah, that was practically a robbery.

Easier by taking govt OUT of the mix and nixing any/all corporate welfare.

Let those go under that can’t make it on their own and let innovation flourish within the Free Market.

IMO, you’ll see innovation after innovation come to the forefront to capture market share.

Faster, and cheaper, ‘Manhattan’ than there ever was, my FRiend!

Gates has always been a NWO stooge and he’ll get his “socialist utopia” here pretty soon when every single Western/Christian nation is over-run by 3rd World illiterate chimps.

No Bill...The only thing that can save this planet is Jesus Christ.

You’ll be bowing to Him one day too, like it or not.

Wow, 2 billion. How about funding all the green changes on our military bases so they can get back to training with upgraded equipment and not have to buy boots after wearing them out from deploying?

Bill Gates was always about Bill Gates. His dad wrote the contract that IBM signed, not knowing what it was doing really.

He’s let his press and wealth go to his head and has no more in common with other people than taking a pi$$.

Hey Billy, you want a more equitable distribution of wealth? You are a multibillionaire. Write my wife and I a check for 17 million dollars. After taxes and charitable giving we would have 5-7 million to invest. My over sixty wife could stop working gave yard shift. I could go from an unemployable old drain on my family to a retired person without debt. Say it, live it Billy.

Rush, your theory is stupid and you know it. These billionaires are just evil. You know Buffett donates big to Big Abortion but you did not mention that today.

Richest man in the world, what does he care if socialist envrionazism rapes the rest of us right in the wallet, he’ll still be riding in limos while Americans are crammed in buses.

If electricity use should go down, ban the charging of electric cars. Puts too great a burden on the grid.
