I'd be Bill Gates

- I would open source Windows, Office, etc.

- Announce that much like MacOS, Microsoft is moving all of Windows to a BSD based operating system, and that the Win32 API will just be a runtime layer on top of a Mach based kernel.

- I'd kick Steve Balmer in the nuts.

- I'd give $25 billion to Apple for the sins of my youth. Not invest. GIVE.

- Lastly, I'd then write a check to my real self for a few million... for "consultant" fees.

I would be Bill Gates... and everyone would wonder why one day Bill randomly would transfer majority ownership of Microsoft to some nobody kid from Vegas called Sig, who likes to post on MacNN. Wierd.

I'd like to be Robert Horry. I would shoot clutch shots all day long, and I would also make sure Duncan doesn't ruin it in the fourth quarter.

Oh well...too bad I can't really be Horry. I'm stuck being Albert Pujols, an awesome baseball player.

Being a Mac fan, that makes Steve Jobs the candidate. So cool to see the inner workings of Apple.

President Bush.
He needs a break.
Start a program to host each iraqi family for one or year so in a developed country with another local family, so I can clean up the mess in Iraq and rebuild the place in all seriousness.

into the darkness an endless flight
a million flashes of delight.
