Ballmer asserts rights to everything IMHO...creepy

According to Wikipedia Ballmer was born in Detroit, Michigan. His
father, Frederick Ballmer, was a Swiss immigrant; his mother, Beatrice
Dworkin, was Jewish. Ballmer grew up with his younger sister in
Farmington Hills near Detroit, where his father worked as a manager at
Ford Motor Company.

During his studies at the Detroit Country Day School, Ballmer was the
manager of the school's basketball team. In 1973, he graduated from
school with a grade point average of 4.0 and was the valedictorian of
his class. He scored a perfect 800 on the math SAT[citation needed] and
competed in math tournaments. Ballmer won a scholarship to Harvard
College. During his freshman year he developed a close friendship with
his dormmate, Bill Gates, a friendship that continued even after Gates
dropped out of Harvard to start his own software company,

So whats the moral of the story. Learn to manage managers and free your
life from the mentally ill megalomaniacs. Computer skills alone are not
enough. A good computer tech needs business and marketing skills.
