More Myths
We all know what Bill Gates invented... right?
That's right! The digitally tuned clock radio.
Oh yeah, then Gates was 13 and Paul Allen was 15, Paul taught Bill how to use a teletype. Wiki PDP-10.
Bill Gates is a ruthless schemer who demeaned his employees and conspired to rip off his business partner, according to a memoir written by the co-founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen.
A lot of us remember Bill Gates for Windows 3.11 (Windows that works) as well as ME, Vista, and Windows 8 (all flaming crashes).
Paul Allen passed away at the age of 65. Bill Gates shared a few thoughts on the man he says changed his life.
Paul Allen built Allen Hall - at Stanford.
Gates, in a fit of jealous rage, built a bigger Gates Hall. He had a lot of help.
I have always been a fan of clones (e.g. the PC) over that infamous over-priced, under-performing, memory hog.
Of course, Steve Jobs is dead and we do not speak ill of the dead.
And, I am a BIG FAN of Linux.
If there is a "punch line," then it is relatively hidden.
