    BillG on Channel 9

    Another great video with BillG on Channel 9 is up!  I have to admit that he's always been a hero of mine (for many reasons), but now that I know his favorite TV show is mine, well that just tips the scale.  :P  Charles did a great job with the questions.  Bill talks about MIX.06, IE, Atlas and a whole bunch of other stuff.  Check it out!

    BillG is the man!

    I wonder what it's like to sit down with him and watch how he uses a computer? How does he program? Is he a good programmer? These types of things ...

    How many millions of lives has he saved and/or influenced.

    When I was growing up, I hated reading/school/education you name it. HATED IT! One day, I was at the bookstore, and I picked up a box of VB4. I took a look at the back and I thought it looked cool. I decided to purchase it and give it a try. It was only when I could read/learn and apply it to the computer that I became obsessed with learning/reading/education.

    This was the magic influence that put me on the right track in life ... and I owe it all to BillG.

    Amen. I'm a college dropout and very interested in the things he had to say on how we can get students more engaged so they actually WANT to learn. I love to learn, just never did in college.
