I believe every school in the country would have up to date computer systems in order to better help students learn and accomplish tasks. He is intelligent and successful so I would like to say that he would be an efficient leader, but I couldn't be certain. Running a company is not exactly the same as leading a nation. <em>Jenna's last blog post..<a href='http://ibdinsurance.com/blog/dental-health/say-cheese' rel="nofollow">Say “Cheese!”</a></em> If Bill Gates were president — technology shortages in schools would not be an issue.

There are a lot of people who are anti-Microsoft, but the company is still going well, despite lots of obstacles (Google, Open Source, etc). It could be argued that some of those obstacles were made bigger because of the way Microsoft have done things, but I think that it's an inevitable part of running such a large company. You can't keep everyone happy. Whether Bill could run a country may be a different matter, but I think he'd do a good job. Better than some politicians anyway! <em>Stephen Cronin's last blog post..<a href='http://www.scratch99.com/2008/03/creating-javascript-array-dynamically-from-php-array/' rel="nofollow">Creating A JavaScript Array Dynamically Via PHP</a></em> Mark,

Guess we've gone too soft on being comfortable with the status quo. Honestly, I wasn't promoting Bill as president. It was more of a discussion point. Like Bobby said, I think he'd make a better treasurer. :) @Forest

Ryan emailed me today informing me of the same thing. Apparently, it only occurs in IE. Sure enough, I tried viewing MAMD in IE and got the pop-up blocker. I think I've corrected it though. I removed the Rank Widget that showed my Alexa ranking. So far, so good. If anyone else has a moment to see if it happens anymore, I'd very much appreciate the feedback. :) @Garry

So many people moan about their government but continue to live within the society owned by such a government. The alternative, move to another country! Bill Gates would probably run the country much like any otyer president in that respect. The alternative, move to another software supplier! I'd like to think Charity would be high on his list and maybe free computers for all children. <em>Forest Parks's last blog post..<a href='http://www.therandomforest.com/2008/03/13/spicy-noodle-soup-recipe/' rel="nofollow">Spicy noodle soup recipe</a></em> So many people moan about Microsoft yet carry on using Microsoft products.
