- I had the chance to view the recording. This was unbelievable. Mr. Gates
- has absolutely _NO_ communication skills. Instead of listening to
- Physics lectures, I would strongly recommend Communications 101. Isn't
- offered at "Microsoft University?" If it isn't, I know where Mr. Gates
- can get a course, and hey, IT'S FREE BILL!!!
-
- The first moment when he made everybody laugh is when David Brinkley asked
- him about his toughts on the subject. For seconds Gates was looking at the
- camera without any response. It seems like he doesn't comprehend very well.
-
- And the following was the funniest..
-
- Brinkley: You were one of the first to see the future of the personal
- computer. You were the first, I think, to see that it needed
- software which did not exist. And you and Mr. Alan, your
- co-founder, wrote the software and in the process became
- extremely wealthy. Am I right?
-
- Gates: That's correct.
-
- Brinkley: And so, what have you done since than? (Laughing in the background)
-
- Gates: Hehehehe....The vision what technology can do....
-
- The man (Gates) doesn't understand what he is asked and in order to try
- sound intelligent, he uses those funky expressions on his face. I think he
- didn't know what he was talking about himself. And 90% of the interview
- he was smiling. If I didn't know the man's name was Gates I would have
- thought that guy played the joker in "Batman." Does he have any
- facial problem or is he trying to impress his boyfriend?
-
- And than he continues...Gates: We have a lot of people who sit and think.
- Yes Bill, we have this vision and it's called Cairo, Baghdad, New York,
- Toronto, Frankfurt. Those are our next-generation operating systems and we
- will ship them all by 1992!
-
- And he mentioned that "We hire smart people." When I saw Mr. Letwin's
- picture the first time, I thought I have seen Jesus! In order to
- create a _GOOD_ product, everybody has to be involved. One "smart"
- person doesn't help, it's a group effort. Hey, Microsoft had the source
- code rights to V7 for years and they still can't produce a multitasking
- DOS. This should tell people something.
-
- To summarize, I would strongly recommend that people at Microsoft and
- Gates he a touch of reality. Life isn't all about Bit and Bytes. And
- for Gates, a man who hasn't seen a woman since Sputnik, I would
- recommend to visit the Texas Ranch, since nothing else seems to work.
-
- I think I have found the answer to why Gates can not get a date. This is
- it:
-
- There was once a young sailor named Gates,
- Who did the fandango on skates.
- He fell on his cutlass,
- Which rendered him n**less,
- And practically useless on dates.
