For ONCE... someone who sticks up for the man! :)<BR/><BR/>Thanks em for your perspective on this. <BR/><BR/>I'm often guilty of bagging Mr Gates on occasion too, but deep down I know you're right about him. He has never made himself MORE than his mission. And we DO all owe him much really for revolutionising this net-connected world we now live in.<BR/><BR/>Crumbs!

Period.<BR/><BR/>He doesn't downplay himself, but he doesn't talk himselfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24289077.post-1154649415832529002006-08-04T09:56:00.000+10:002006-08-04T09:56:00.000+10:00:) No worries Dick.There was a little book out in...:) No worries Dick.<BR/><BR/>There was a little book out in the 70's I remember called "I am Lovable and Capable". I'm not sure if it still exists and I do not know the author. But it dealt with pieces of oneself being slowly taken away from ones self and the "way" in which to bring them back together again. <BR/><BR/>I remember being very much enamoured of that story! :) It was very much M.A. Pitmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00186535132961583856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24289077.post-1154617347512986702006-08-04T01:02:00.000+10:002006-08-04T01:02:00.000+10:00Mitch,This post raises again a question that I hav...Mitch,<BR/><BR/>This post raises again a question that I have been thinking about adding to my "list of great questions" -- Is it OK to be me?<BR/><BR/>I'll probably do that soon.
