Fare thee well Mr. Gates - you and IBM (in almost immediate retrospect, much to IBM's horror), along with folks like Woz and Jobs, created an entirely new way of thinking about computers and computing for the general public.

This day we see a living legend of computing step off the playing field.

As you look back on your accomplishments and forward to what the future may hold, I hope one word comes to your mind: Cool.

Thank you for your many years of service to the computing industry and being a vital part of a revolution that make life better for so many.
