So Bill Gates has passed the $100,000,000,000 mark! Well whoopee. I'm sure he'll be celebrating. I mean, now he can get all those things he couldn't buy when he only had fifty billion dollars...

What do you DO when you have that much money? Couldn't he give most of it to charity? It's not like he needs it...

He's putting billions into a global satellite network soz we can kernect to the net a blinding speeds! That's what that much money is good for, for getting schitt DONE that the government won't or can't do without arguing about it for 50 years and then spending twice as much on a beurocracy to make sure a and b flip their boogers properly.

Yeah, the rich are good for getting stuff done. True. But I just feel he ought to give some more to the more urgent causes.

Note that this reply is already out of date as he's just announced he IS going to give it all away. So good.

That's all being that rich is good for... hehehe.

Maybe he is one of the boys and all he wants is for all of us to have access to the internet for free some day, he will buy all the telephone company's in the world and let every one connect for free. Your anwsers on a post card please to msn/network.uk

Dude, you really reckon that Brother Bill would _give something away_? If he buys something it's so that other people can pay him to use it. Not a bad system really...
