I often hear peple talk about Willy boy, they assume he went to MIT or some
other techie school.
He dropped out of Harvard school of Business. He dropped out when he
figured out how to get rich not because he was stupid.
He may not know much about computers or quality of products but he knows how
to make $.
Give Willy boy his due.
Just be glad he is the leader of most everything computer related and not
Air traffic!
Having most peoples computers crash is a bother but you get to walk away!
Just imagine flying across the country and in mid flight having to shut
everything down and re-booting or even worse having to reload the airplane
in mid flight.
