I was at Agenda 2000 and, one of the people who was there was Craig Mundie, who is some kind of high mucky muck at Microsoft, I think, vice-president of consumer products or something like that.
And, I hadn’t actually met him. I, bumped in to him in an, in an elevator… And, I looked at his badge and said, “Oh, I see you work for Microsoft.”
And he looked back to me and said, “Oh, yeah and what do you do?”
And I thought he seemed just a sort of a tad dismissiveI mean, here’s the archetypal, you know, guy in a suit looking at a scruffy hacker. And so I gave him the thousand yard stare and said,
“I’m your worst nightmare.”
