President of DR meets King of PC

The President of the Dominican Republic, Leonel Fernandez took his 'chopper' out for an airing and whipped it over to Casa de Campo, La Romana on Sunday 13th Feb to meet with 'King of the PC' Bill Gates.

Mr. Gates and his wife, Melinda had been staying there since Friday 11th, and they met with President Fernandez, and the First Lady, Margarita Cedeno, at the home of Gustavos Cisneros a Venezuelan business man, who was also present at the meeting along with his son Guillermo.

The President of the DR has a number of great plans in mind for investing in the country's infrastructure! So no doubt successful entrepreneurs of the magnitude of the Microsoft boss could be the 'Gate'way to essential technical assistance in years to come! At least it would be helpful if Mr. G could help the President ensure that all the '.gov.do' websites actually worked properly...that would be a start! :-)
