Somehow I refuse to believe that Bill Gates is really stepping down. I think he's just going to be a little less public.

Of course, like the article points out, he's got 58 billion dollars... Maybe he's going to go enjoy some livin'

58 billion dollars would be a giant headache.

Well, he could make a run at president of this country. It does not pay much, so this might be a like an odd job for him. LOL

It's an interesting idea... He could do it and refuse the pay, like when Jesse Ventura was govenor.

I wonder how he'd do?

If he did become president, it would be pretty hard for him to be "bought". LOL. How do you bribe the richest man in the country?

He would (or may) be better than the two who are running for president this year. But don't take my word for it.

I agree, If I were him, I'd live out the rest of my days in obscurity, enjoying the good things in life, traveling and helping people.
