...but that was reaching, bro. What I don't like about Gates is that he is sort of revered by some simply because he is in some regards a wealthy Marxist.

Big money makes mistakes.

He was an efficient administrator/executive in the right place at the right time. Not as much an innovator entrepreneur as Jobs though.

Gates would be the first to acknowledge that I hope.

Efficient administrators are in some cases undervalued. Their population in the general culture will determine the fate of all in time, I guess.

Well, you know about 1% more than Teebone, . . . which means you don't know [feces]. --- Russ Walden ( 02/15/2021, 11:35:00 ) ( 1566 bytes ) +2

Bad day? "During Microsoft's early years, Gates was an active software developer, particularly in the company's programming language products, but his primary role in most of the company's history was as a manager and executive" Disagree? --- LateForLunch ( 02/15/2021, 16:41:55 ) ( 2376 bytes ) +1

Whoever said that apparently doesn't know what a manager or executive does. --- Russ Walden ( 02/15/2021, 18:52:19 ) ( 1551 bytes ) +1

Silly assertion if it's directed at me. . . . --- Russ Walden ( 02/15/2021, 12:11:10 ) ( 337 bytes ) +2

Well, you know what they say about opinions.... :-) --- TEEBONE ( 02/15/2021, 12:24:16 ) ( 47 bytes ) +1

Yeah, but I fail to see its relevance in this exchamge. Truth is not an opinion. --- Russ Walden ( 02/15/2021, 13:02:11 ) ( 1042 bytes ) +1

It's obvious that it pushed one of your hot buttons, but it wasn't intended to. --- TEEBONE ( 02/15/2021, 13:47:10 ) ( 1054 bytes ) +1

It wasn't Gates, per se, it was your conflation of Microsoft with FaceBook & Twitter that annoyed me. --- Russ Walden ( 02/15/2021, 14:52:21 ) ( 2 bytes ) +1

Apologies. Most of us uninitiated Trogs lump all the tech biggies together politically, and not for lack of a reason. --- TEEBONE ( 02/15/2021, 15:08:40 ) ( 2 bytes ) +1

"not for lack of a reason" -- The reason is ignorance and absence of clear thinking. --- Russ Walden ( 02/15/2021, 15:44:52 ) ( 657 bytes ) +1
