I'm not sure who originally said this nor why it's attributed to Gates, but he's gone on to say:

You can tell yourself that all you want

I don't have to.
My Google-fu is strong and doing a quick search shows it's correct.

I'll put it to you this way. There's nothing out there credible that says he did say it, and nothing out there credible that says he didn't (other than him saying he didn't like 10+ years later). Leave it up to your imagination. Personally I'd like to think the richest man in the world is human and makes mistakes like the rest of us, even moronic ones.

Hard to believe he's the richest man in the world, isn't it?
He doesn't seem to even much care, and he gives tons away. Pretty good dude, I think.

I agree. When I meant human, I meant from an intelligence point of view, not judging his character

I wasn't ragging you at all, Jordan. I made that comment cause I sensed you were like minded about him.
On that quote...
It's not the first time I've heard it, but when I heard it last he was supposedly talking about ram. I don't buy it, because it really doesn't make sense, especially since he's always had a vision that everyone's entire life, home, house and car would be networked. Gotta store all that crap somewhere, and he's always been waiting for hardware to catch up with his vision.
I'm not saying he didn't say it, but if I was a betting man, I'd put my five bucks on "didn't" cause it doesn't make sense.
