"Actually mr smartpants, 20 000 leagues is a direct relation to Julio Verne's book 20000 Leagues Under The Sea"

Yes, I know, thus the phrase "allusionary power" appears in my first quote. You see an allusion is when . . . aw, nevermind.

The Gates and Jobs event is worth the price of admission alone. I only wish it would webcast for the geeks of the world. The equivalent of a heavy weight title fight for normal people.

Sadly, or not depending on your view, I'm sure both will conduct themselves like proper gentlemen. They are both over 50 and rich enough not want to whip it out and have a good measure. But I'm sure there will be differences of opinion on matters digital, so that alone should be informative and fun to watch/listen/read...

I hoping you'll take copious notes in order to satisfy those wanting to be there but won't be.

Actually mr smartpants, 20 000 leagues is a direct relation to Julio Verne's book 20000 Leagues Under The Sea, so if you don't know , you don't get to showoff without being bitchslapped.

We all know Gates would just get up and leave, as he does in other interviews.

Not to be picky, but a League is a measure distance and not depth, as you imply. Fathom would have been appropriate but, of course, that lacks any allusionary power, now does it?

Showoff. Geez, who invites these smart guys to comment, anyway? :)

Wish I was going to watch the clash of the titans and, more importantly, to buy you an adult libration, Brian. Hopefully the good word I put in for you with Mr. Jobs will pay off, but considering I never got a reply to my email, I wouldn't count on it.

Wow Brian, it could be nice if you can take a picture of yourself and the two big geeks! If you can get that without photoshop, then you will become the BLOGER of the year (techy geeky speaking obviously).
