| Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates earlier this year told the Microsoft
| Government Leaders Forum, "Geez, get a decent computer where you can
| actually read the text and you?re not sitting there cranking the thing
| while you're trying to type" (see Bill Gates Mocks $100 Laptop).

| Mr. Gates announced last week he plans to give up his full-time job in
| Redmond, in part so he can spend more time helping the poor (see Gates
| Phasing Himself Out).
