I am very very grateful to Microsoft and it’s founders for all of their contributions to the Seattle and, for that matter, world community. I admire the purpose and efforts of the Gates Foundation.  Thanks Bill.

But when I purchased a suite of Vista powered machines for my business – I gotta tell you it broke my spirit. Seemed I was always frustrated, worried and having to maintain and baby-sit the computers. Uh – they are s’posed to babysit me.

So…with some sense of guilt…I have converted to Apple, or should I say ‘returned” – since I was first introduced to computers vis-a-vis an Apple Mac IIC.  External floppy drive. You get the picture.

Bill, ou’re giving your money away and I so admire you for that.  I only contributed a small amount to your huge pile – now I’m helping out the next foundation build its wealth.  ~blm
