Did you know?

Microsoft and its boyish, multi-billionaire chairman, William Henry Gates III, are much maligned in the Macintosh community. Many Mac fanatics view Gates as the anti-Christ, stuffing inferior products down the throats of the world's computer users in an all-out effort to rule the industry and crush the Mac. Sure, Gates wants it all (he already has a darn big chunk of it), but he is absolutely not a Mac hater. In fact, he's probably the biggest fan of the Macintosh way of computing. Gate's transformation from benevolent co-conspirator to reviled competitor, and how Apple itself is really to blame for the success of Windows, is a fascinating tale.

Steve Jobs realized that the Mac would need a full complement of useful applications to be successful, and the most important third-party developer of all was Microsoft. Jobs suspected that Microsoft would take what it learned writing Mac software to write similar applications that would run on IBM PCs. Jobs' fear of Microsoft was well founded but misdirected. On Jan 22, 1982, Jobs forced Gates to agree that Microsoft would not "undertake in any way to sell, lease, license, publish, or otherwise distribute ... any financial modeling, business graphics or data base program which utilizes a mouse or tracking ball for any computer not manufactured by Apple." Unbelievably, nothing in the agreement precluded Microsoft from writing an operating system that would compete with the Mac. That would prove to be a disasterous oversight.

holy.

Lift up your eyes

All of heaven's in worship

Angels rejoice and the clouds will be filled

With the wonder of Your Name With the wonder of Your Name

The train of His robe fills the temple with glory

Heavenly hosts fall before Him in worship

Crying Holy Holy Holy, is the Lord God Almighty

:) wonderful song.
