Re: OT...who says Gates doesn't have a sense of humor

Yeah, he's got a sense of humor all right. Who else could have an 
anti-spam initiative and still sell a personal finance app that fosters 
spam by 1) installing spyware on your machine and 2) trying like hell to 
force you to create a Passport in order to use the app at all? Aren't 
there therapists out there who handle pathologically sick humorists like 
this?

I'm laughing so hard I'm managing my money in Linux. Go Open Source.

Pardon my spleen, I'm a recovering McGates-ophobe.

In a speech about MS's antispam initiative:

"...-spam is a nuisance and a distraction," Gates writes. "Like almost
everyone, I receive a lot of spam every day, much of it offering to help 
me
get out of debt or get rich quick...." 

That's actually pretty humorous...considering the source..
