The future is fridge magnets...

Posted November 19, 2002 12:20 PM.

Never let it be said that Bill Gates has lost his touch. I mean certainly the man responsible for Windows and Office can't really be blamed for the fact that everyone hates his company. Nor is he directly responsible for the X-box not selling at all. Nor indeed can he be held to account for completely not noticing the potential of the internet. No, I think it's clear that Gates is a man with a mission - a true visionary genius. Which is why I'm prepared to forgive his obsession with the tablet PC and celebrate instead the concept that will take the Western World firmly into the 21st - maybe even the 22nd - century: Smart Fridge-Magnets!
