...temptation to know what might have been. Or to produce an Einstein, a Dr. King, for every generation. Or to raise a Jefferson in a clearing, a cross between Jurassic Park and Williamsburg, an artificial environment re-creating 18th century Virginia. Create, nurture and wait. Then bring him out one day, fully grown, to answer the question of the ages: What would Jefferson do today...

I look forward to the cornucopia of new software and gadgets that they will come up with...
...enormous ego. He is a bright techno-geek who simply got lucky with some basic programming, then hired the right marketing gurus and cornered the emerging software market. Gates' pathological personality traits show him to be more akin to Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan than Albert Einstein; his ruthless and paranoid approach to business practice is driven not by intellect but by pathetic will-to-power.
