Jonathan,

Bill Gates is a great man. He is working now on eliminating malaria
disease in the whole world. Malaria kills more people than all wars
taken together.

If Bill and Melinda Gates are approached at all it should be a grand
idea or a project. Like making the addressable map of the whole world,
including 3rd world countries and countryside. It is hard but doable.

Here is an article about it:

Asking Bill Gates 30-50K is sort of a waste of his time. He probably has
more change on a mirror shelf at his home.
