"find another CEO" How hard can this be?? Business schools like Kellogg and Harvard publish the resumes of their grads. It's not as if candidates are hiding in a cave.
If it hadn't been Gates it would have been someone else; if it hadn't been Jobs it would have been someone else. Innovation isn't some rare mystical trait that only comes about once every thousand years thanks to a high concentration of midi-chlorians.

I wasn't yet a regular visitor here back then. My god Blue, how in hell do you have the time to write the vast amount of text you've posted to this site? What do you live on? Section 8? Trust fund? Song royalties?
When I was a boy, the New York Times commanded respect. So much so that Stephen King ended one of his early novels with a joke about it and a subtle nod to Ellsberg. Now the paper itself is a joke, and the joke in King's novel surely falls flat to new readers, if they get it at all.

Oh I get it. If I'm not willing to be a cheerleader for technothugs like Gates & Jobs then I must be a quaintly befuddled idiot who quakes with fear before any new technology. Hehe good one.
