Everything that has a beginning has an end -- and sometimes an unexpected parody.
In one unlikely riff on "The Matrix," Microsoft founder and Chairman Bill Gates stars as the enigmatic rebel Morpheus fighting to liberate humankind from evil computer consultants from International Business Machines Corp.

Actually, in the given context, they're the awakened ones living in the real world.

Yeah really. Ever heard of a sense of humor, sj?
RMD, I sense the reality distortion field is strong with this one. :)

Jesus, can't you people understand sarcasm and fckin humor!?
Maybe you should work on your delivery. Add a few smileys here and there, or some tags. ;-)
ASCII text isn't the most expressive medium you know.

Ahhh, thank god for the Great Corrector! Really is this the best you've got today enforcer? You're accusing me of not having a sense of humor but your correcting my spelling as I nail you with oneliner after oneliner after oneliner. Sad!

Oneliner after oneliner? Most of your posts are longer than mine.

BTW, I'm sure no one is enjoying this tennis match besides us. sodablue, I need to license your sodajerk discussion ender. Hopefully it's royalty-free like MS' XML schemas.

I don't think I have a patent on the sodajerk discussion ender.
But the secret is, I just stop responding to him.
I'm taking the red pill

lol, I was talking about the "I bow to you. You are all-knowing..." speech.
I think it went something like that. ;-)

I was going to go along with Sodajerk on this one (it does sound like a lame parody, though I would like to see it first to draw that conclusion for myself, rather than take the author's account of it in this article), but then I hear his predictable over-the-top comments.
I nail you with oneliner after oneliner after oneliner. Sad!
Full of yourself, perhaps? Sad, indeed.

sj, it seems to me that you're more fixated on Gates than I am. It couldn't be a bit of jealousy could it? Scott McNealey complex? I've always wondered about your initials, sj. You wouldn't be Steve Jobs trolling for ideas and wondering how you could "switch" us, would you? Naaahhh, couldn't be. Or could it? ;-)

I think SJ needs a timeout. Why the hell would anyone defend IBM?

red, they didn't even show it on the live webcast last night. I don't think it'll surface on the Internet from an official source.
jerk, it's comical that in the case of Andy Rooney, you say we should have a sense of humor and not attack his absurd statements. In this case, a case the is clearly meant for humor, you attack it. Pot. Kettle. Black.
