Jerry,

>I don't think he knows or cares exactly how much he is worth or how much he owns, except in a ball-park way. From what I've read and seen, he is in it for the fun of the competition, and he is a very fierce competitor. I was suprise to learn that he doesn't own 51%, but only 13%. I wonder if that represents the largest voting block of shares? I.E., is he still boss?

Remember, Steve Balmer and Paul Allen both have substantial stock holdings. It only takes a few folks to get a majotity I'd think. Besides, who would want to tell Gates he doesn't know how to run a business that has some 30 billions cash in the bank?

Even though I'm sure he needs to be told now and again just like everyone else. <g>
Best,


DD
