I can never keep a straight face when I hear about the Museum of the History
of Computing, which is primarily (or solely) funded by the Gates Foundation.
Mind you, that same 'charity' buys newspapers to incorporate bias and
glorify the almighty generous man. Also reminds me of statues and name
assignment... people like Rotschield (not sure about the spelling)... even
Saddam Hussain, whose country was a shrine to his reign. A school and
information that is controlled by a corporation could, in the long run, lead
to totality.

Best wishes,

Roy
