hi DDN community -
that's quite some news that bill gates will be stepping down from his full
time job at microsoft. i was totally surprised to hear that he has also
accepted an entry level position at red hat.
considering the overwhelmingly dominant role microsoft has played in
computers until this point, this might signal a turning point in the history of
computing. with increasing diversity in operating systems and application
software, new doorways of opportunity will open for those who previously have
lacked access.
new doorways will also be opening in the entrepreneurial realm as society
moves away from the monolithic computing paradigms of the past.

(only kidding about the entry level position at red hat.)
