Would you have invested in this company?

Looks like a picture from the Sintalk suite at the last Internext. :1orglaugh

The personal hygiene looks a shabby there too :helpme

man i looked dorky back then ... glad i quit in 1979 and found porn 20 years later.

I made a mistake in that time.....I invested my money in another
company.....called: The Kelly Family (a band).

That scrawny little guy made some serious money. Amazing how that guy stealing someone else's technology combined with some great marketing revolutionized our whole planet.

dorks indeed... I wish I were a dork like them..

Fithly rich dorks. There is a difference! :D

Filthy Rich Dorks that have dominated the world!

bah.... rich, poor.... doesn't matter. They always were and always will be fuckin' geeks. Money don't take the geekiness outta ya.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Who cares about the looks. They made great money and i love them.:1orglaugh

Who here is using one of their products right now?

<raising hand>

actually we all are.. GFY is run on an IIS server...

"Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0"

Damn straight. All the money in the world aint gonna improve your life, if you're still a fucking loser in the inside... Being a loser is a state of mind, and that's gonna haunt you personally even if your bank account is the biggest in the world.

you say that just to make yourself feel better. when they fly by you in a lambo or spider and live in a fucking huge houses, who's the looser now ? :Graucho

Of course their all billionaires now..

True.

Now the cool people just have to learn that style doesn't put originality in you.

That is just fucking scary :eek7

making fun of successful people makes you feel better about your sorry self?

What is there not to make funn of??
Even if those guys were never heard of they would still look funn as hell :1orglaugh

And you have a bug up you butt why? :uhoh

i'm talking about microsoft, not the picture..

just the way people make fun of them is like, "they might be rich but they are geeks, so it sucks to be them"..

i'm a software engineer too, getting my degree in a few months. i just don't like the way people think about us. who knows maybe i'm gonna work for microsoft in the future or own a big company myself, and i don't think i want this to make me look more like a geek and a loser.

Each and every one of us - at least those of us making money in this industry - should thank God for Bill Gates and Microsoft every day of our lives. Say what you want about Microsoft and Windows, but it was them who brought computers to the masses, and thus allow us to produce porn.... And make tons of money.

I wish I was in that picture. I'd driving a Lambo myself!

he bought it actually. not his fault the guy was too stupid to get a better price.

bill gates, paul allen, and balmer don't look like losers to me. they're all highly successful people who seem to enjoy what they're doing.

Who says Microsoft brought computers to the masses? I would say that honor goes to Apple for the Apple II and the Macintosh, and IBM for the PS/2. Just because MS sells the most doesn't mean they actually started it all. If it hadn't been them who profitted the most, it would have been someone else.

Today we are talking modern "geeks" which they are really not :)
Its just a frase we use today Lane, no one really means anything about it.

sure!

i'm sure it would have been someone else, but the fact is it was microsoft who brought pc's to the masses.
