If you want further proof that Bill Gates really is the axis around which
the world revolves, go to the Web site for his recently formed company,
Teledesic, the compnay that is going to put the Internet in the sky via 841
satellites.

There is an extraordinary animated GIF file that shows how this will work.
The really cool thing is not just that it has the satellites moving in
orbit, but it has the earth turning (slowly) underneath *in the wrong
direction*  ... or should I say, in what will become the right direction?!
