Duff-Man says....for those that do not remember, in the early versions of OS X - I don't recall exactly in which build it got removed - if you did a cntl+alt+del you got a pop-up that said "This is not Windows" ....oh yeah!

Cool, man. I'll have to find some screenshots of that somewhere. I'm sure they're out there.
 
What would have been real funny is if Bill had just hauled off and beat the crap out of that guy. Or Bill's bodyguards :rolleyes: . We can't go around talking bad about Microsoft can we...? ;)

We have all established that Bill G lacks any sense of humor or social skills....his encounter with Conan O'Brien proved that.

He's talking about the Longhorn demo at CES in Jan. Conan was the MC. It was a disaster, nothing worked right! Conan tried his best to keep it going. Wish I had a video, it is a must see.

and Ctrl-Alt-Del almost always worked. Not quite, but almost.

What is "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" translated to a Mac? Last time I was using iPhoto I decided that I could as well run a slideshow while I was importing pictures from my digicam. This was probably not such a good idea, because I wasn't able to stop the slideshow anymore. iPhoto simply didn't react on the keystrokes anymore, and it was in fullscreen mode. So all I could do is turn my Powerbook off holding the Power button for 2 seconds..

Musta been really early. Apple has a no Easter Egg policy for security reasons. But if you hold the shift key down while activating a User Interface event... its cool. (Exposé, Minimizing, etc.)

This brings up an interesting topic. Would you rather be the richest/least respected man in the world or the most respected man, but not the richest? That's the paradox that is Bill Gates.

Better question would be the choice between richest & least respected and most respected & poorest.

Of course if you were the most respected you couldn't possibly be the poorest anymore than the least respected could ever be the richest.

I don't have a definitive answer on who I least respect but there's a lot of people in front of Bill on the list which makes him neither the least respected nor, I believe, the richest.
