The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth
Forbes Magazine revealed their list for wealthiest Americans and I gotta say, it’s riddled with geeks. Noticeably absent is me, Flemo but I think that’s because I have a non-profit status.
So Gatesy (Bill Gates) still heads up the list at #1 with a cool $59 billion, Ello (Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle) commands $26 billion and holds the #4 slot, sneaking ahead of the Brinny and Page show (Sergey Brin and Larry Page, co-founders of a little startup called Google) at #5 with 18.5 billion apiece.
Other notables include Delly (Michael Dell) with $17.2 billion, Balmy (Steve Ballmer, Microsoft mouthpiece) with $15.2 million, the Other White Schmidt (Eric Schmidt, Google CEO) with $6.5 billion and rounding out the list is Rand with $2 and 59 cents.
Check out the full list and keep being geeky, apparently you’ll increase your odds at making the list.

$2.59?… That’s almost $2 in Canadian money these days. You could get a coffee!… A small one.

I think the Canadian dollar and US dollar are at about equal right now. Saw it in this article the other day…

A sad state of affairs indeed. Could get a medium coffee then.

Quality costs more Mickey D. It’s like the difference between Mac (quality) and PC (crappy). I’m sure you’ll agree;)
