Bill Gates' Taxes Require Special Computer

NightWulf writes "News AU claims Bill Gates said in an interview, his fortune is so big, that the IRS needs a special computer, because a normal one can't handle the numbers. The IRS must have had to switch from PC's to Macs just for Gates."

    This has to be BS. There are very lareg corporations with financials much more complex than Gates' taxes.
    This sounds ridiculous. Do Warren Buffet's taxes need the special computer also?

    Anyone else consider that Bill was attempting a joke, but the interviewer couldn't tell? I mean only nerds get nerd humor, right?
