February 25, 2000, on How to Become As Rich As Bill Gates:
For all the people who claim that *we* made Bill rich, I dispute this. Bill got rich as a result of business IT professionals moving from the "safe" IBM choice to the "safe" Microsoft choice in a gigantic lemming herd. Does the phrase "No one every got fired for buying Microsoft" ring a bell? Everyone else came along for the ride and Microsoft has raked it in as a result. Now they're forcing Win2000 down everyone's throats and it looks like businesses are going to double Microsoft's revenue again. *We* didn't give him our money. Corporate idiots did. In droves.
