Re:Thanks Bill (Score 0)

First off, it took many years for Gates to get to the point that the foundation was more than just a dream. It benefited heavily from the dot-com boom and even now, the Gates Foundation gets money from Bill from dividends off his stock ownership (as noted in todays news conference). Given some time and the newness of being uber wealthy, we can hope that the Googlers will follow in Gates' footsteps as far as charity. They are "young" and assuming they stay frugal with their money, maybe they see that some good can come from being that wealthy.
