It's worthwhile remembering that screaming fit Jobs had at Gates about Windows... "But Steve", Bill said, "it's like I went in to steal my neighbour's TV and found you had stolen it already!".

I wish I'd been a fly on the wall haha.

The best thing to happen to Apple (and the rest of the world) was when Jobs died.

Hahaha.
Someone told me once that theres a right and wrong, and that punishment would come to those
who dare to cross the line.
But it must not be true for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total asshole.
