#Anyone watching TnaG last night? 
#There was a program about a guy visiting the USA. Hector, the guy
#presenting the show is fairly strange/wacky which helps :)
#He was in Detroit in last nights' program and visited Microsoft
#headquarters there! He walked into the reception and asked to speak to
#Bill Gates. When asked if he had an appointment he of course replied in
#the affirmative, while blathering on in Irish (to the camera)that he
#hadn't..
#The poor receptionist rang someone and was told that no, "Hector from
#Irish TV" didn't have an appointment. He left but first asked for a fax
#number, then realising where he was asked for an email address.
#Graciously, he said he wasn't upset that Bill declined to meet him.
#I have to say I enjoyed it, his talking in Irish(helped by sub-titles)
#added to the show and he even got several stabs at MS (crashing
#machines, wrote up the script on an iMac..) so maybe if we ask TnaG
#nicely they might give us some publicity :)
