The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is set up to give away $38 billion (plus another $30 billion pledged by Warren Buffett).
While I'm in the mood for mad ideas, how about sparing some fraction of that (oh, a billion?) to go back to Bill's crazy source code and finally straighten out all the problems with Microsoft's core products, then send out a one-use-only disk to all previous purchasers, to reload everybody's programs with reliable updated versions?
Or should I stick with dreaming up more realistic schemes, like the deposit-free banking idea?

I think that is a wonderful idea. When I bought my lap top last year I made the mistake of choosing Vista. I was really annoyed when I found out that they weren't going to spend much time on it's many problems but would bring forward the next version of it's operating system instead!
Oh how I struggled with Vista!
Car and white goods manufacturers do product recalls, not "patches", so why not software designers? There seems to be more patches than trousers now.
We have three handsome sans and we live in Mars Hill NC. My hasband and I work self-employed, own masonry business and this year construction has been down, so we don't have enough money to pay are bills.
Nine years ago we moved from Seattle Washington to North Carolina,We bought a old house and thought it would be fast and easyfixer upper.My chilldren were so pappy but it turned out that the house needed so much mork. Now nine years have past and we still haven't finished are adition toour house,we were building roomsfor are boys who are now teenagers and have been sleeping in the living room for oll those years,because their is only two rooms in the house and only one bathroom without a tub.
When we bought this house we gotin debt for about $60,000, then we startedthe adition and we started buying stuff for the house by acredit card, thinking the masonry business would pick up, but it didn't happen.
Someone suggusted to us to borrow a lown from a bank and builb a house and make some money and some how finish are adition on the old house . But then we started to have problems with the banks and saildin the house came to ahalt for about two monthe and my husband's business slowed down miserbly.
So we borrowed more from people and used credit cards and we got more and more debt,now both houses not finish and we can't sell, because houses don't sell rigt now.Are job is not enough to pay are bills and we have to borrow money from friends to pay bills ,now the friends are asking them back because thy don't have any maney to pay thayr bills. We are now in debt $460,000in mortgage, $32,000 in credit cards,and $83,000from friends, I cryout to God everyday for help because I belive in miracles,I now God put rich people like you who do good for this world and God ,I now God bless you 100 times more who help orphan children. I pray five days a week for hour pray on my benden knes about are needs enspecially are children and their futures, about this country , the president ahd for poor children and people who in needs. I love children and my dream everyday about odopting two girls from some orphanage. but I can't because our house is not finished and we have no money.I just now to make are boys happy so their futuremay be blessed, they are very good boys they are up spirted about this whole situation never complain, We love them with all are heart, we want are two oldest children to go to college next year and they can live normal lives.Please can you help us in the name of Jesus Christ.
