A Real Confidence
Builder
Like many of you, I
subscribe to a few newsletters from Microsoft. They aren't all
jewels but on occasion they do contain a tidbit of information that
falls outside the boundaries of self-promotion. I admit, I was a bit
curious when Bill Gates sent out his first newsletter so I did a
read through and decided to subscribe to future newsletters from
Gates, Ballmer, and the rest of the MS elves. What I received for my
efforts is depicted in the three screen captures below.

So Far - So Good

Uh - Oh. Must be a
lot of interested people. Let's click Retry.

Nice work, guys.
Maybe I'll try and confirm my subscription tomorrow.

10/02/2002 In all fairness, I did
manage to subscribe and today received a letter penned by
Steve Ballmer detailing some of the progress in resolving
software bugs through the use of Microsoft Error Reporting.
In spite of the laugh I got from the initial sign-up
experience, I'd recommend you subscribe. All information has
some value; some just takes longer to make its value known.

I still continue to get letters saying I'm a Bill Gates
hater and a jerk for posting this page. Lighten up folks.
It was intended as a bit of humor. We've all had days when
things didn't go as we planned and this was merely one of
those situations that I found a bit humorous. And for all
those who claim I'm a Gates hater, you couldn't be further
from correct. I have the utmost respect for the man, not
only as a technology genius but as a philanthropist. I
read an article today titled "Bill
Gates Is A Good Guy" that I agree with totally. Check
it out; it just might give you a new perspective on that
jealousy you're harboring. |
