I do not *WANT* the pirated software.  I work closely with programmers and 
help distribute their software.  I will work as hard as I can to stop piracy 
in any shape or form. And I hope you haven't been using your real name in 
this conference or you will be regretting it.

Bill Gates *does* work.  His business was not handed to him in a silver 
platter.
In any case, I don't care if Bill Gates or the rich or whoever work or not.
I do a lot of voluntary work too.  You too can be rich - try getting an 
education for one.
Regards,
Albert
