And today we have two from Bill Gates:

• "When you really look at it, Oracle's gotten where it is now by dumping cheap and buggy software on tens of thousands of businesses across the country and the world--trapping them within closed, proprietary systems and making them pay through the nose. Larry Ellison is public enemy number one when it comes to innovation and fairness." Bill Gates, (Interview with Krakt Korteks, Nov. 20, 2000)

• "Let's face it, the average computer user has the brain of a Spider Monkey." Bill Gates (To Andrew Lephter, Feb. 21, 2000)

You sure he said oracle and not windows?

"Let's face it, the average computer user has the brain of a Spider Monkey."

I think he gives them a bit too much credit. Have you seen the average computer user?

"Let's face it, the average computer user has the brain of a Spider Monkey."

That's obvious. How else can you explain the fact that they keep buying Windows?
