Well, I pledge $20 to him whenever one gets started! He will be a hero of mine if he does get jailed!

Only if he is jailed? In my mind, this guy is already a hero, because he _knows_ what he will do could land him in jail and yet he wans to do it anyway. Someone with so much will and so much faith and belief in a cause is a great man. Since I happen to care very much for the cause he advocates, he is a hero to me.

Unfortunatly it looks like HP/Compaq has asked him not to go through with his plans. Since he would loose his job I can understand him backing down. Now, only if someone else was willing to do it instead!!!

[Schotty]

well, its my understanding that HP was paying him to do the presentation. So technically they are equally liable. Geting fired over this is probably not his idea of a good show.... I honestly cant blame him. He needs to eat too, ya know. :-\

Too bad though.

Darn, that sucks. I will do it if someone gives me a free flight :P

Someone has to be the 500lb gorilla and M$ can't be everywhere at once. So, the entertainment industry has assumed the position of King Kong and we can assume the other, less festive, position.
