generated by Lord Bill and his acolytes as part of Bill's
campaign to destroy unix.
bill had a license with Labs for Unix V7 that was

"Bill Gates is greedy because he has amassed a fortune of
US$ 15,000,000,000 ($15 billion)

US$ 1,400,000,000,000 ($1.4 trillion) from us each year
and does good things with it."
