I mean, I love programming, and I'd like to see if there is anything in common, you know? Plus, I'd also like to see if Microsoft and its actions truly represent his own ways of dealing with things... I'd like to think he's a nice guy, but after what Microsoft has done, I just don't know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrZoidberg Posted January 1, 2005 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Met Sharron Davies, a former British Olympic swimmer when I was about 12. Saw Christopher Eccleston (British actor) in Manchester, England last year. He was wearing sunglasses - inside. Waved a flag at the Queen of England once, when I was about 5 or 6. She was passing through my town. No one else. I'd quite like to meet Bill Gates, though. I could ask him for a job... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
