Look, I'm sorry but most of this should have been covered by home owners insurance. Great cover-up by big money if you ask me.

Don't the macsacs have something better to do than trolling the new section. It's like they are wannabees. You have your own section, now stay there or go run in the street.

Bill Gates cares about black people!

It's just money down the drain, literally. History has shown us that it's generally not a good idea to build a city on a swamp below sea level.

I don't understand why Microsoft would do this. Black people don't use computers.

@pintomp3"looking a gift horse in the mouth"are you kidding me? ill retract my opinion if anyone here can truthfully state they've been anywhere in new orleans remotely close to what the 9th ward looks like. ever gutted a house in the new orleans' ghetto? doubtfully so. ever seen an destitute family break down in tears as you literally turn their house inside out? did'nt think so.it was horrible a year and a half ago and its horrible now. the katrina scare has settled down quite a bit. don't get me wrong, im appreciative of bill gates, i've always thought he's been generous with his money. however, the money could have been put to much better use a year and a half ago when the problem was a concern of national proportions.perhaps i was a little bold in stating "a little late" and for that i apologize. but, i do not apologize for feeling that way. and anyone else who thinks otherwise can come down here themselves and see what its really like. i can assure that anyone who does will hold different opinions for disaster aid.

its like if you dont donate people jump on you if you do donate people jump on you to donate more "only 1.7 million" Now i show you that they donated more "1.5 Billion" and you all still find a way to dis Gates. On the Real Gates if you read this Take ya money back every one hates you cause your smart cause you make money cause you got the OS market on lock. No one care about the good in you...stupid humans.

@dtd00dApple doesn't do the same thing because they don't have the cash to do it. They've been dancing on the edge of bankruptcy since the 80's.
