      No. But I’ve read his biography “Hard Drive”. I admire his single-mindedness and self-belief even though, like most who are into Linux, I think Microsoft’s business practices are questionable at best!

    8padd – no I have not but we did design the tower he lives in. He has the top two floors of something called the Trump Residential Tower in New York. The tower is almost 300m high (quite near the UN building) and it is a concrete framed structure with belt trusses and a tuned mass damper at the top. It is the most slender building in New York with an aspect ratio of 11 to 1.
