Has anyone here tried to send an email to Bill Gates before?
I did.

I got a response as well.
(It follows below, this way quite some time ago actually, I just ran across the email again. Funny things happen when you have thousands of emails)

I was kind of disappointed... but it was still cool!
He actually pays people to check his email
Now anyone who does that gets way to many. Its probably the most spammed and emailed inbox in the United States on earth!

He actually pays people to check his email

He sure makes enough money, but I doubt he pays someone to check his email.

While I can't say for certain...what I think you received was a generic email autoresponder...like a form letter.

Aww (My hopes and dreams are ruined!)

I still think it was cool.

He's is the most spammed person on the Internet.  I know of lots of people that use his e-mail any time they don't want to give away their e-mail address but need a valid e-mail address to use.
