Let's introduce: Bill Gates

Bill looks worried in his office.

Having finished the discussion with Palmer, Bill decides to give all the non-operating cash to shareholders. “It is interesting that most people feel worried because they lack money and for me I am worried because I have no new area to invest the excessive cash”, Bill smiles to himself.

Bill originally tried to explore the Middle East market, however, with George Bush’s invasion into Iraq, the whole Middle East market is going to launch a boycott against all American products including those from Microsoft.

It seems that the new version Blackberry is the only thing which cheers him up. “A new e-mail?” Bill reads the small screen of Blackberry, “ Hi, Bill, I am Bush, would you mind coming to the White House this Sunday to discuss about the weakening Dollar? Pls confirm. ” “ Give me a break. It is you idiot who screws up my business in Middle East market”, Bill is murmuring.

Suddenly his mobile rings. Slowly a picture is showing on his Nokia. Well, it is the photo of his beautiful wife which was taken just a couple of minutes ago in Belgium. For busy couples like Bill and his wife a live picture sounds like a good way to flirt with each other. “ Is it possible to show her picture in my blackberry so that I won’t take two pieces at the same time? ” Bill seems excited, “ yes, a boundless internet beyond all media." Is this the new area I should invest?
