earlier interviews of Scoble's in the near future, but this was his last one behind the camera for C9..), Scoble and Alexander talk about everything from why Alexander elevates his monitor with reams of paper to what working with Bill Gates was like.

Come here little guy, we'll console eachother until he decides that he's making the BIGGEST mistake of his life by leaving the c9 crea...oh the calamity that will follow! The walls are already beginning to chip away, the birds have left their water-hole, and the valley-deer have retreated into hiding for the drought is near, and all calamity will follow...

So tell me, why don't you have an accent? I get asked that all the time and it'd be great to have some new answers onhand...
This was a great video to go out on. It was broad enough that it ended up being a nice retrospective in addition to everything else. Looking forward to the exit interview. Well done, Robert.
Charles still has a bunch of other interviews I did, so there'll be more interviews from me. This is the last one I filmed as Microsoft employee, though.
Thanks!
