Crying over spilt software

al-Reuters has an article about Bill Gates' departure from Microsoft:

"Bill Gates said a teary goodbye on Friday to Microsoft Corp, the software maker he built into the world's most valuable technology company based on the ambitious goal of placing a computer on every desk and in every home... Once the world's richest man, Gates' personal fortune has been estimated at about $58 billion, according to Forbes Magazine. He has slipped to third place, behind investor and good friend Warren Buffett and Mexican telecoms tycoon Carlos Slim."

Rico says third place ain't bad in this race... (But I still should have whacked him when I had the chance.)
