My favorite part of that picture is the way Bill's mouth is just a little bit open in the most simian way.
I'll change it some day when somebody pies Elon Musk. I don't think he'll take it as well as Mr. Gates.

The biggest gamer I know is a 70-something year old divorced woman. She's been getting her hair cut based on her headset needs for about the last 15 years. She told me last night that she's been advised to stop gaming because of ongoing joint pain in her hands and neck, so she's asked if I want the gaming PC I built for her in August of 2025 back. What I did not know about her is that she's independently wealthy. Her ex-husband was a commodities trader on Chicago's Mercantile Exchange (which I did know; I just didn't put together that the divorce went very well for her). She has an eight-figure net worth. She's giving me her gaming rig. I just have to make an 80 mile drive to get it.
Ryzen 9800X3D, 64GB DDR5, 6TB of NVMe, an RTX5080 and a 49" Samsung G9. Even the audio setup is amazing; Beyerdynamic headsets and Mackie studio monitors don't grow on trees and most of these are unobtainium parts. I'm talking about a PC that was $5k last summer, before all the pricing shit happened.
Hello car down payment.
