Well in one way it might be a good thing. If Bill were to instigate a program
of "genetic cleansing" like Rudolf, his paradigm would probably be that only
nerds are fit to survive and procreate. This might make it easier for many of
us to get dates! ^O^ Woo woo! On the other hand all the computers would suck.
So I guess it would be a trade-off, which matters more to you, sex or rotten
computers?

But this is getting a bit off topic... ^_^;;;
