    In reply to Bill Gates: My 1979 Memories
    due to the generosity of bill gate's parents in the beginning of the 70's i was exposed to a paper tape key punch machine with a modem that connected to a mainframe in downtown seattle. to be 13 years old with unlimited access to a mainframe was one of the greatest joys in my life, i learned basic very fast to say the least. the program was and i hope still is the lakeside enrichment summer program. i learned from reading code that a slightly older student would write during the regular school year. mr. mastretty (sp) would tell me of this students prowess at at the keys of this paper tape machine.though we never met, i've admired his work ever since. good job on the foundation, i see your generosity may have some genetic foundation.

    From 1978-80 we lived in Bellevue, WA. My husband was doing a post doc at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. He remembers passing a sign on his way to work that read "Microsoft" and wondered what it was.

    I love old pictures of Bill. I mean, the mugshot, and the one in this feature, he looks like he's just letting the awesomeness of his own life wash over him and having a blast.

    Every now and then I'll see recent footage of him talking about Microsoft, or the foundation, and catch that same look on his face. It makes me a little jealous. Never of his money; more that he's pretty much spent his entire life doing what he wants to be doing.

    wow, I read this and thought it was just another neat article on the whole retro '79 thing (great articles BTW). then I started reading comments and realized this was written by the big BG himself!
    Gizmodo, you have earned another notch of respect in my eyes.
    Mr. Gates. thank you for taking your time to write this and add another notch of proof that you are, in fact, human.

    So how about a boxing match between you and Jobs? all proceeds go to charity chosen by the winner? I really just wanna see you kick that jerks ass; even if its just once :)

    Proud PC fan for life

    In reply to Bill Gates: My 1979 Memories
    LOL at people saying Bill has so much more humility than Jobs. Let no one forget that both men are cut-throat business men running multi-billion dollar international businesses spanning multiple industries. Jobs is perhaps more publicly 'forward' than Gates, but either one of them would happily run you down to further their respective industries or get a 'leg up' on the other.

    Hell, at times they've run each other down. Stealing ideas from each other, backstabbing, etc... capitalism at it's greatest, really.

    Also, we shouldn't forget that for Apple to 'win', Microsoft doesn't have to lose. And vice-versa. Both men have created thriving, profitable systems. Taking the competition between MS and Apple out of the equation... all I see are 2 fundamentally brilliant people.

    I was hating microsoft blindly till i put my hands on a mac ..... that ignited a thought process appreciating all the smart ideas went into the creation of microsoft as a universally appealing brand !! ....Learned my lesson ......
    thanks Bill Gates to make computers and technology affordable to all ...... if you didnt do that ...then the whole world would be paying 50cents to send an e-mail using a 10$ "e-mail app" ;-)

    this is great, hearing from one of the richest guys in the world, who helped shape the Tech world into what it is now

    I'll confess here: I love XP and I'm looking forward to 7, but I'm also a Mac lover... kind of a Best of Both Worlds thing
