Waiting for Billy H
I can't help but wonder if Bill Gates gets some perverse satisfaction from the reality that almost every computer-using human on the planet waits for Windows to boot up. Maybe it's retribution for a time he was stood up, or maybe stuck in traffic, but he's having the last laugh. What's Windows doing during the 4 minute startup? If you listen real close, you can hear your computer lackadaisically singing "La de da, da, da, dee, dum, etc". We all wait for Billy H.
Why is it when I dial a wrong area code it takes forty rings for the automated message to answer? And why, if it is possible to put a living, breathing man on the moon, I have to know when or when not to dial 1?

Send men to moon - government sponsored, cost no object. dial 1: how much do you want to pay for that service?

Less than zero! Increase efficiency (millions of moments lost in hundreds of thousands of lives...like teardrops in the rain...),while decreasing costs and increasing profits. It's possible!
