Re: What Topics Could Gord Sing Of On Next CD?
An interesting topic Walter ( a.k.a. The Sober Rodent) Coincidentally an email newsletter this morning brought me a link to a spoof report on Bill Gates' last day at work. Now being as how one could argue that Bill's perseverence with the Windoze Operating System that turned Big Blue's Personal Computer into the all can do resource most of us enjoy and benefit from was the biggest event of the last 20 odd years. I suggest therefore that despite Gord's lack of knowledge and use of the internet he could (perhaps with the assistance of Meredith) write some sort of musical tribute to Bill.
the youtube report on Bill is at:-
When Bill Gates gave his farewel CES keynote last week, he opened with a video that imagined what his last day at Microsoft might be like. A dozen guest stars, a string of self-deprecating references, and few vintage Star Wars action figures later, and we’ve got…well…not exactly an answer, but a least a few giggles for our trouble.
With apologies to the minority here who consider that the Mac was the source of better JOBs!!
as you can see I have started the long process of saving the video using Easy Video Downloaderlater after a mere 57 minutes and indicating only 32% the crazy program tells me that the download is "complete". fortunately on youtube threre are about 8 copies of this video so now I'll try another and try to get more than the 2 plus minutes that my crazy dial up deigned to download before giving up the struggle!!Dammit!!
