"The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all his customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he who by peddling second-hand, second-rate technology, led them all into it in the first place." - Douglas Adams 1995
Personal friend of both Bill Gates...
You sure? Adams making quotes like the above, it doesn't sound like it. Must've been alot of awkward silences at dinner parties held at Gates Towers. :PAnyway, how does being a friend of Bill Gates make Douglas Adams an expert? Osmosis?
