Actually she said "My crow is in the loft", and being hard hearing Bill misunderstood that as "Microsoft".

Wow. I'm amazed you didn't pen "M$". Talk about the bias of two decades (while loosing).

Especially given that the company got its name in the mid-70s...and Melinda never had a conversation with Bill until well over a decade later.

the real joke in all of this (really not funny at all) is how does Bill Gates explain his long and close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Which, some say, is the real reason why Melinda is leaving him, apparently.

Exactly. Who would want to remain married to someone who had spent that much time on a plane with Bill Clinton!

At the risk of going off-topic, isn't the statement, as you wrote it, always true about anything?

They began making baseball bats out of aluminum years ago (not allowed in pro leagues)
You'd think they'd be cheaper? Think again.
On the other hand, they don't break as easily as the traditional ash.
Maple. hickory, and even (shudder) bamboo have also been used.

I see two solutions:
1 - don't type things you care about and you won't miss them when they disappear, or,
2 - don't type and nothing will disappear
What's so hard about that?

Ah, well - there's your problem.
Text should not disappear, that's very naughty of it. I'd give it a good hard smacking if I was you. Teach it who's boss.
Post it here: https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/ask.aspx[^] but remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with.
The better your question, the better our answer.
