Conference 7.286::digital

    Is this the same as CNBC?  I think that is where I watch Larry King
    live.  Does anyone have a time EST?
    
    I'd like to tape this.
    
    Pam

CNN is not CNBC.  Larry King is on CNN.

			Steve

I believe Larry King is on at 9:00 p.m. EST.

Ken

    9:00pm eastern time is correct - CNN has been hyping this quite a bit
    since last week.
    
    Barry 
    

    2.00am UK time - ouch - time for the video.

	Any idea if they repeat it later?

    I just caught a bit of it -- and he was very complimentary to us. 
    Larry asked him whether when one went to the store to buy one's copy of
    Win95, whether one might "get a lemon."  "No," replied Mr. Gates. 
    "That's the beauty of Digital products.  Every copy is the same."
    
    I might have been mistaken on the capitalization, however.
    

    Oh *very* drole DrDan, very drole... :^)

    re .6:
    At least CNN Europe has it this afternoon (1500 CET if I remember
    correctly).
    
    I did [try to] tape the original, but forgot to check the tape this
    morning (it was 3:00 AM CET).

    
    He was asked by one caller if he had any plans to move any of his
    software development to countries where he could get programmers for
    less than what he pays here.
    
    Although he encourgage development everyone, his response was "No". He
    plans to keep everything right here, although he says his company does
    hire smart people from all over the place.
    
    He was also very reluctant to discuss his wife, when Larry asked if she
    enjoyed computers and was involved in the computer/software space. 
    Course, she does work for MicroSoft. :>)
    
    Mary
    

I think that was the only time in the interview where he seemed nervous. 
The funny thing was that I think Larry King realized this and kept pressing 
for more info.

    I thought he seemed to be clearly thrown by the question.

    NOW I KNOW WHY MR BILL COULDN'T SAY THE DIGITAL WORD AT THE ALLIANCE.
    IF HE HAD SAID DIGITAL HE WOULD HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HIS "WINDOWS95"
    BUT MAYBE WE CAN BORROW HIS QUOTE???
    
    I LIKED HIS IDEA OF THE CAR YEAR REGARDING PRODUCTS. (EXP. ALPHA95)
    
    I GUESS WE WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE BARBARA WALTERS SPECAIL TO FIND
    OUT ABOUT HIS WIFE.

re .15

please... don't shout at us in capitals...

    At one point in the interview when Bill is answering Larry's question
    "do you take your work home with you", Bill says yes, I take my
    compact|compaq portable and dial in to work.  I didn't catch whether
    there was a 't' in the pronunciation of that adjective, but I sure hope
    there was, considering BP just gave Bill a Hinote Ultra that he should
    be using!  :-)
    
    	Steve

    Sounded like Compaq to me...

    I liked how he gushed about data sharing, and empowerment, blah, blah,
    blah, some old lady asked him when he was going to make software for 
    lay-people.  Also,  his comment that you needed to be a technologist
    to run a tecnology company was a nice shot at IBM (Gerstner)...

Not to mention Apple, with the Pepsi man.

    Well, to his credit, John Sculley *does* have some technoid
    background... if memory serves, he did some work (at amateur hobbyist
    level, or better?) with graphics display technology (TV?) and with
    time-lapse photography...
    

  Who's John Sculley? ,-)

  Apple *IS* run by a technology guy: Michael Spindler.

                                   Atlant

    .21> Well, to his credit, John Sculley *does* have some technoid
    
    ... since he IS still alive, I felt it inappropriate to use *did* above...
    
    But bang on, on whoever it was that brought up "the Pepsi-man" as if it
                    were still true that he's steering that ship... :-)

I can't complain about how my shares of IBM stock are doing :-).

Liz

If you bought your shares of IBM at 150 you probably wouldn't be overjoyed
just yet.

No doubt!  Fortunately, I didn't have to buy them and when I got them
they were at $42.

:-).
