 I can Bart over to Emeryville and get a 2o'clock with Steve Jobs if you
like. ;)

| I see that my coinage of "Wikimedia" has become the name of the
| Wikimedia Foundation. Well and good, well and good. Now I'll just
| wait a few years until this thing gets really big, and then I'll sue
| for intellectual property theft, settle out of court for a few
| million bucks, and then retire to my country estate. Heh heh heh... ;)

| Seriously, folks...has anyone considered approaching some of the big
| computer companies like Microsoft or Apple, or for that matter the
| Free Software Foundation? I'd think that some of them might have an
| interest in coming up with some funding. For example, Apple is
| primarily in the hardware business and might have an interest in
| encouraging the development of an open source internet platform for
| multimedia that motivates people to go out and buy more iBooks and
| iPods so they can use iMovie and iTunes.
