Subject: sorry i failed

Steve really just wasn't in the mood for anything this weekend. He was back and forth with bill all weekend. As you might have seen in the press there's a lot going on. Also the timing right now is really focused on the next version of windows. Plus they fired two of the top folks that works on entertainment and devices and it looks like all of that work will now come to Steve too. So he's interested but right now is just swamped and stressed out. He just got on a plane to this event in California and won't be back for a while. I guess he will revisit when he is ready. So part of it definitely is that he's so terrified of you and the other is just that he's busy. I don't like to nag him, I prefer to wait till he's ready to talk about stuff and then he will. Back bumer. I might go talk to the preservation guy though in the meantime since he's the bottleneck.

In terms of the scientists, we should find some time to talk about them and whatlhowfif you want to do something with them? FUN stuff.
