No tears for flooded Gates

A quick trek through blogland reveals precious little sympathy for Bill Gates, who, it was reported today, receives 4m emails a day, most of it spam. His plight is mainly greeted by repeated LOLs. Perhaps it was the revelation by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer that Gates does not actually have to do like the rest of us and delete the damn things himself that rankled.

"Welcome to the club, Billy boy," writes Jimbo at Jimbo's World. "It seems that Bill and I have a lot in common. Total strangers are telling us our penises are too small, they can cure our baldness or save on our prescription medicines."
