Learn more about him. Bill Gates did not write the original PC operating system, DOS. When IBM came calling for an operating system, Gates bought one then turned around and licensed it to IBM. The real creator made little money and no recognition.
Check out info on Xerox's Palo Alto research center and you'll find that Xerox is the real inventor of much of the computer technology we use today. Both Gates and Steve Jobs toured the center.

This must be a hardcore addiction and requires desperate methods of treatment.
Find a copy of Mad magazine with its mascot, Alfred L. Neuman on the cover and copy it or clip it out. Put it up on our wall alongside a photo of Bill Gates. Stare at the two pictures for 15 minutes at a time for 21 days (or until the two pictures merge in your memory as one). Memorize a bunch of Alfred L. Neuman jokes. Develop an obsession that Bill Gates is reallly Alfred L. Neuman who has retained his youthful looks but went into business.
I couldn't find a satisfactory image of ALN with a quickie Google search, but found this "joke" (?) in The Urban Dictionary which will give you the idea of how this nerdy (pre-computer) icon of American pop culture of the 1950s and 1960s on looked, if you don't know already:
Alfred L. Neuman: the mascot/logo for MAD Magazine, represented by a person with freckles, buck teeth, messy brown/ginger hair big lips and a rediculous grin.
(person one)hey look, the new issue of MAD magazine
(person two) how do you know its a MAD magazine (aside from the giant title on the front cover)
(person one) because of the picture of alfred e newman

I have it on pretty good authority that Bill Gates is pretty flattered whenever his security staff informs him he has another stalker. Relocate to Redmond.

Ask him for a ton of money. He'll probably never give you any, and you'll get over him.
