    I'm not that hard to imitate. Just make some random negative claim at Apple or anything else for that matter and then have nothing to back it up.

    ok, gerbs, that sounds like a good idea

    In my previous post, I meant to say "I was serious".

    He's taking a break to give away some of the money he's made. Not only is he the worlds richest man, he's the worlds biggest philanthropist.

    And your ragging on him for that? What a bunch of pansy's.

    well... with him no longer in the office... it means more chances for me to rob him.

    or at least leave my beer tab in his name.

    you'd almost have to be the richest person to afford that.

    I'm sure bluescreens, virii, and unethical business practices have cost the global economy more than he will ever give away... but he does give away quite a good chuck of change.
