February 14, 1998 –
The Fox Broadcasting Company aired the 914th episode of The Simpsons, Das Bus, on this date.
In the episode, Bill Gates offers to buy out Homer’s Internet start-up, Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net. Instead of actually buying the company, two of his goons trash the office.
To suggest that Microsoft would actual do such a thing is ridiculous, and dangerous.
