Jebuz, he's lost almost half his money in four years! Why couldn't he have given it to me...WHY? I could have used it for many great things...mmmm...the thoughts... Do you think if I wrote a letter to good old Billy asking for just $1 million, he'd consider it? I mean look at it, it's only $1 million! It's not like I'm asking to be CEO of Microsoft or anything. Think about it, $1 million is about 0.0023255813953488372093023255813953% of his net worth according to azz0r's 2002 stats up there...surely that won't hurt him... Hmmm...how should I start the letter? Dear...Hello...Billy...I don't want to sound like I'm crazy or anything...

I think the same sometimes, like would writing to Michael Jackson asking for a measly £2000 hurt him? I cant see how you can spend a Billion on anything, let alone lose about 42 of them. -- Why wont it save me? |

Hehe...Michael Jackson - I laugh everytime I hear that name. I dunno, maybe it's just me, but is he a weird guy or what?
Mind you, there was something on TV last night about him and he was performing at a concert and when I thought about it, the music is actually not that bad...but still, WEIRD! As for Billy boy, he's got all of his billions in shares and investment crap, so I guess since the economy has been quite weak in the past few years, it's not really that surprising. And yeah, I'm back on good old modDB after Scotty was saying it's cracked the 10K registered users and getting almost 10K unique hits/day...it's doing alright ain't it? Had to see what all the excitement was about. Greg -- "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert Einstein |

Hommies...hehe, what is with all this Hommie groups in the music industry. I mean you got some Snoop Dogg, Ja Rule, 50 Cent, J. Lo and god knows who else and apparently they are split into two groups who hate each other to death! I mean honestly, who throws a shoe? What is with all of this? Can't they just get along? In Adelaide here in Australia about three weeks ago Ja Rule was touring the nightclubs (I actually saw the little bugger in Melbourne, Australia at some nightclub with all his hommie bodyguards...it was quite funny...but they did take heaps of hot chics in their vans and limos...bastards! ...anywho, that's another story.) ...back to Adelaide, yes, Ja Rule bashed some DJ for playing a song by 50 Cent and some girl got a black eye and the police was called and then they cancelled their tour to Perth, Australia and went back to the US...friggen hommies!!

I pity any song Ja Rule touches. Youve got all these young talented black woman writing their own songs with some fun modern lyrics then youve got this ape of a man with a voice sounding like a foghorn being scratched. He however has alot of money and his own record label, so he signs them and forces himself on there track, I swear everytime I hear a decent song its soon ruined by him joining in 'singing'. He could take some tips of MJ. -- Why wont it save me? |

Considering Mr. Gates owns 1,203,499,336 shares of MSFT directly (as of 3/5), the majority of his net worth is dependent on the stock price. Let's take a look at the stock price (prices adjusted for stock splits). 4/21/99 - $40.87 notice the downward trend? granted, the percent decline each year doesn't exactly match the percent loss but there definitely is a direct correlation (from '99-02: stock lost 32%, Gates net loss was just under 50%). -- Why wont it save me? |

Good research there azz0r, it is definitely the major source of his billions! What will the evil genius think of next to lure innocent buyers into thinking they MUST HAVE his software, raising his money pool yet again? I'm guessing there will be something BIG coming from Microsoft in the not too distant future...mind you, they announce something big every friggen year or so.

I laugh at the small amount of money that Bill Gates is worth.
