Ok, which one of you nuked the box Gates was using? C'mon, it's ok

Gates encounters problems in Windows 98 presentation
CHICAGO (Reuters) - Computer mogul Bill Gates had a couple of his own
run-ins with technology on Monday as he kicked off a convention where
Microsoft Corp sought to impress with its most user-friendly new
offerings.
It was awkward enough when the presenter had trouble getting his
microphone to work ahead of Gates' keynote speech. But then Windows 98,
Microsoft's updated version of its operating system software, crashed
during Gates' presentation.
"While we're all very dependent on technology, it doesn't always work,"
Gates joked.
Gates was presenting his "Windows Principles" -- of which Windows 98, to
be released early this summer, is an example -- at the COMDEX/Spring '98
convention here.
Windows 98 is designed to make the computer simpler to use whatever the
purpose, and uses a browser to find everything from documents on an
individual computer to Web sites on the Internet. (Reuters/Wired)
