Which is really ironic! His “knowledge” was not what made him his great wealth. If that were the case most chimps would be millionaires. No. Mr. Gates used the stupidity of the common consumer to make his wealth. And as the great Albert Einstein once said, “There are two things infinite: The Universe, and Human Stupidity. And I’m not sure about the first…”

I’ve often wondered if he said it or not, too.
The flip side of it all is that human beings have limited intelligence and knowledge and we’re limited by space and time. I am quite sure he didn’t know the PC development would have grown to the level they are today otherwise, no company would be close to Microsoft today.
Well, either Bill Gates did or not, he has used the limitations of his knowledge to amass a stupendous amount of wealth.

ERRATA: My earlier message said what the (bleep) difference would it make, but I used angle-brackets which suppressed the content I guess.

If it can be proven that Gates really said this, then I will . . . I will . . . what the difference would it make? Now if he were running for the Senate, that would be a different matter.
