TODAY IS: International Shareware Day, on which all computer users are urged to inventory their machines for shareware and, in the holiday spirit and to encourage the creation of more good shareware, send a payment check to the authors of any shareware programs they find (for more info, see online-today.com). We see exactly what kind of bad citizen of the computer world Bill Gates is in the 1999 TV movie PIRATES OF SILICON VALLEY: Gates (played by Anthony Michael Hall) all but steals DOS from its creator, then turns around and makes, literally, a fortune with the program. For shame, Bill. [today's movie at IMDb]
