4 days left due to DRM.

yeah, what about the women-count-thing?

the bbc video wont work in canada :(

Darn DRM

@Joshua

Checkout Mininova or your favourite tracker for a copy. The BBC Money program on Gates. Having them all come together and reminisce was very cool. High recommend Paul to check it out.

I didn’t know DRM blocks regions, that sucks!

Here in Britain we have to pay for a TV license it’s about £140 a year i think, part of this fee should be that the iPlayer is not restricted. i mean what harm are will it do....get them more viewers? Lol

"yeah, what about the women-count-thing?"

RTFA:

"Present for the reunion was office manager Miriam Lubow (center of new picture), who missed the original sitting due to a snowstorm. (When Lubow, now retired, first met Gates, she couldn't believe that disheveled kid was the president.) Absent for the reshoot was Bob Wallace (top center), who died in 2002; after leaving Microsoft in 1983, he pioneered the idea of shareware."

Steve Wozniak's comments re: Bill Gates and the early years of Microsoft are quite interesting here:

@Paul, Re: "weirdos"

That was the casual style in the 70's.  I'm sure in 30 years people will be saying "GAWD!  What the hell is he wearing??  A collared shirt and sweater?!?"

If you're completely oblivious, almost everyone in the latter picture is wearing blue (or close-enough shades), aside from the 2 women front-and-center.  By contrast, more than half of the people in the previous pic are wearing orange and brown.

@lotsa, Re: the Woz.

I like the fact that he points out that when Jobs came back, he was all about cooperating with Microsoft (1997*).  WTF is HE smokin'?  It doesn't matter what century he's in, he'll always be a weirdo.

*WHAT is Jobs wearing at the Macworld 97 SF meet?  Did he roll a naval officer for his uniform or something?

I ain't gonna hate on their fashion sense. As wack as it may seem today, it might become retro a few decades down the line. These guys forged one of the greatest software companies and the greatest fortune in the modern history of the world. I respect them all even those not with us. These guys and gals helped changed the world and I am forever greatful. Because of their efforts, I got some of my best jobs, met friends, and entertainment.

Did you mean decade?

And were you talking about this weirdo?

He introduced the Apple in the 20th century.  Now it's the 21st.  I thought I was clear on that.  What century are you living in?

They look like hippies! but Bill Gates just looks like a nerd, lol.

The hair of Gates in the 70s shot are... well... weird.
