I tell ya. I don't have enough finger and toes to count the number of times I've seen cars with coffee mugs and/or bags on top driving around. I laughed my head off.....'coz I've done it myself a couple of times.

He puts a box on top of his car, as he took Microsoft to the top. Then as he drove off, with the box still on top, it crashed to the ground spilling its contents. ..
Mind you, there was no suggestion he was pushed out, and apparently he'll still be turning up once a week. So maybe it was just a stunt or a genuine accident.
It was a 'joke', taken from his leaving video. BBC just borrowed it.

Was and interesting programme...I liked the Alan Suger bit..He didn't get that the money was in software until too late. And he's bitter about it.
