Actually, my buddy and I gave his house a call the other day, however Mike was not home, so we instead talked to his father for about 15 minutes.
At first we called to express our dissaproval oh him selling out like he did, however his dad was very understanding and clearly explained the situation.
Microsoft apparently appologized, and in turn Mike got an XBox, 2 months training and Microsoft Certification along with 6 months redirection to his new site, mikeroweforums.com
His dad didn't mention any of the other items.
Also, he was telling us that all donations will be instead sent to Canuck house.
What bothered me about the situation is that the webdesign company is now gone, and forums are there in its place. Makes you wonder if he was in it for the cash from the beginning. I didn't support Mike Rowe at all, especially after him selling out, however his father was incredibly nice and well spoken, which is probably what kept the case from getting messed up.
I don't understand. :confused5Originally posted by Robert
Well he sure has heck made out with more than just what Microsoft gave him.

Yeah, I had to here all the international garbage about the case, as well as all sorts of junk on the local media.Originally posted by Robert
Whatever Microsoft gave him doesn't compare to the attention he has created. He was featured on TV, newspaper, his forums that opened recently have already 1,000+.
Nah, don't know him personally.Originally posted by tandoc
do you know him, like before MikeRowesoft?
they should've included a lifetime xbox live subcription or something

How freaking hard can it be to type an extra sentence. I thought he was getting JUST an XBox. This was not the case and I actually had to read the article (god forbid ) to find the whole truth.Originally posted by Robert
Tandoc selected what he felt was important in the article - an Xbox.
Isolized had no right to tell him that he can't "read".

So that's why he said he couldn't read - because he got upset that he had to.. OMG.. READ!!!!!
