I'm just waiting for the day when he introduces the email "feature" of
being able to send automatically loaded executable code with a message.  I
predict that it will happen the day after the last newbie has finally
learned that email virus warnings are hoaxes.  The stage will then be set
for Bill to introduce the capability for email viruses that actually work
but which nobody will believe the warnings until their own computer is
hit. Talk about a workfare program for IS professionals!
