But in that context, "the farm" is actually an accurate and proportional
representation of what Gates & Co. owned (the entire world) at that point in the
1990s. So they could play dice with a few acres.--But that's probably not what
you meant. As my brother often says ".Net is 'mice nuts' to Bill Gates".
Which means, Microsoft NEVER puts all of it eggs in one basket but rather plants
acre after acre of projects--if they do well, they do more of it, if the don't
do so well, the do other things. But they will eventually do other things
anyway.
