August 16, 2001, on How to Become As Rich As Bill Gates:
Newsflash, people! I know many of you think Bill Gates made all of his money thanks to you, which you are quite mistaken. He made his billions by taking his inherited money and the money he made off royalties and such by placing it all in the stock market. You gotta gripe? Why bother? What makes you think he wants to buy you people -anything-? I don't think he gives a flying rat's ass about what you think he should do to "redeem" himself. Am I defending him? Hell no. He single-handedly created the most flawed and insecure operating system ever and got insanely rich off it. But, I do feel that you people could save yourselves the trouble. Just because America was foolish enough to buy Windows doesn't mean Gates is foolish enough to give you people money.
