In praise of Bill Gates style

[JeffR]

Can we all agree that Bill Gates has come a long way?

Look at that shoulder. That lapel roll! And a ticket pocket!!!

Any guesses as to the maker?

You should have seen him on The Daily Show the other night. His shirt could have housed a family of refugees.

That is actually an amazing jacket for Bill, most of his stuff looks like it comes from Wal Mart. Wonder if it is from that chinese tailor/manufacturer that he and Buffet raved about.

Better than Steve Jobs' jeans and black turtleneck. It would seem that the man has nothing else.

Yeah, he's a rebel Dotty!

Hey give Steve Jobs a break. The guy is dying. He'll probably have to accessorize that outfit with a colostomy bag pretty soon...

Jobs let himself go. Sartorialy speaking. But my MacBook Pro sure is purdy.

I'm in praise of his commitment to charity.

I hate that smug look on Jobs' face. I hate people copying the black turtleneck-blue jean look. It does not look good on anyone including his His Steve-ness. His older photos are nothing special. Also I can't stand apple products.

I respect Bill Gates for the work he has done beyond MicroSoft. This was on the news today:

All I think of when I see a Jobs presentation is this:

I used OS/2 for many years, so I hate both Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.

These days, I do not use computers at all.

I saw Gates all linen'd out last month and he looked pretty good. Though he getting a little heavy.

You are posting on SF from a "Mobile Internet Device"? If it is white/shiny and has a bitten apple somewhere on it, please don't tell.

I write my posts out cursive, and mail them USPS to LA Guy several days in advance, and he puts them in somehow.

This requires imagining how people will respond and thinking ahead about what my replies will be, but it seems to generally work.
