Gates strikes me as someone who has had everything handed to him including his parents eugenics. That includes Microsoft. The idea that he's a whizz kid mogul is a ridiculous one, the guy is an idiot, a murderous idiot.

It's not that he's a wiz-kid mogul; it's that his products were designed by people whose brains don't work the way the majority of people's brains work. Fifteen "elegant" steps to create a document that any reasonable person with a typewriter would create in two. Game-playing because they can rather than practical performance for the rest of us.
I'm not a tech person. I use computer programs only as they are useful to me. From the time I was forced to begin using them (at work), I was astounded by how ridiculous the number of steps required to type a simple letter was.
The destruction of simplicity and the imposition of technology on basic learning for children has--and I don't exaggerate--shocked me. Programs to teach infants to read? How about a parent's lap and an adult hand holding Goodnight Moon? God help this generation.

Let's face it, his software was/is nothing special. Only the idea might've been special.
The coding has always been messy and clunky with more clunk to try and correct the other clunk! That's why it takes so much memory space.

My 5 grandchildren spend far too long staring at screens and using keyboards but unfortunately they have to be able to use IT these days.
I started out with a Sinclair ZX80 with 1kb RAM memory!
