Ha! Those are some crazy images! Also, Let's not only give it up for Ben. Ben is *awesome* and wonderful and all those things, but there are teams of folks I'm sure who sit at their keyboards (and in meetings... let's be honest) day after day writing all this wonderful code, so that we can all benefit from it. Let's hear it for the unsung code monkeys! :o)

First Bill Gates, now Ben. Where did we go wrong?

Oh I don't know. http://www.bennadel.com/index.cfm?dax=blog:707.view Yes indeed you are the messiah! Let's all follow you! Ben: Look, you've got it all wrong! You don't NEED to follow ME, you don't NEED to follow ANYBODY! You've got to think for yourselves! You're ALL individuals! The Crowd (in unison): Yes! We're all individuals! Ben: You're all different! The Crowd (in unison): Yes, we ARE all different! Man in Crowd: I'm not... The Crowd: Shhh! Apologies to Monty Python for the above ;)
