Bill Gates wishes he wasn't so rich

[stngymama]

Gates seems to be your classic computer geek* (no offense intended--wish I had his talent)...My understanding is that he wasn't a philanthropist until his wife encouraged [shoved?] him into it. I suspect he didn't even comprehend his wealth until then. I obviously don't know for sure, just a guess.
My daughter applied for the Gates Millineum Scholarship, and though she wasn't awarded one, someone from the organization called about every two months to "do a survey" Huh!! We finally were cystal clear we had no reason to do them, and Leave Us Alone. Talk about a waste of $.
*there's an extraordinary rate of Asperger's Syndrome in Silicon Valley, which if you read up on it, might explain a lot.
