This has absolutely nothing to do with Aphex Twin, but we all need
a good laugh every once in a while. I was browsing the Web as I
usually do, looking into the
ridiculous
lawsuit filed against Microsoft for their anti-spam filter in the
upcoming release of Outlook Express with Internet Explorer 5. It seems
the company filing suit made a few changes and their mail gets through
just fine now. Why didn't they do that before they filed suit?
Anyway, that's not the point. The point is that there is a link on that
page to Bill Gates' Web
Site. I had been there before. I didn't remember anything interesting,
but I decided it was worth a second look. Imagine my surprise when I saw
what I saw, when I read what I read. Does anybody else see the irony in
the statement gracing his main page? Microsoft, meet innovation. Innovation,
meet Microsoft. Well, I thought it was worth mentioning. Hope you had as
much fun as I did.
