That’s Our Ballmer

Here’s a small tidbit on Steve Ballmer I noticed in an article on Microsoft/Yahoo:

Ballmer doesn’t delay when he decides on a purchase. Tellme Networks Inc. CEO Mike McCue held meetings with Ballmer for two days before the Super Bowl professional football championship last year and figured his group would hear back after the game.
That Sunday morning, Ballmer, a math major at Harvard College in Cambridge, Massachusetts, called them back in for what he called “Math Camp,” helping him plug numbers into a spreadsheet to decide whether the combination would work. At one point Ballmer grew so excited he started gesturing wildly while holding an open can of soda, spraying McCue and his executives.
