> From The Seattle Times.com regarding the recent appearance of 
Microsoft's Bill Gates on 20/20:


The first night in his new house, Gates told [Barbara] Walters, he 
watched a big-screen TV that pops up out of a console in his bedroom. 
But things went awry when he tried to go to sleep. 


"He couldn't get it to go down, he couldn't get it to turn off, so he
just put a big blanket over the thing," she said. Gates has joked that
everything from light switches to music speakers goes on and off
unexpectedly in the house, which is run by a high-end PC network built
on Microsoft's Windows NT system.
