These pictures are priceless.
Looks more like pizza drippings or mac and cheese.
I can work with that.
Scary! Dare I say...in those pictures he actually looks kind of ....cute?
I bought a copy of OS2 Warp and part of the install included a video of Gates at a convention, when he was working close with IBM, saying that OS2 was the operating system of the future.
Pretty funny even then.
I think he looks cute.
ha! Thanks.This-Is-Not-A-Ping-List ping!
[Freepmail me to get on or off this Not-A-Ping-List.]LOL! :^D
Didn't Gates get (steal) the idea for the GUI in Windows from Apple?
booked
...and that hard drive!
The information superhighway is apparently not the only place where Bill Gates has been pulled over on suspicion of speeding.
A police mug shot of Gates from a 1977 arrest for bad driving appears on the cover of the September issue of Brill's Content magazine. The photo shows a nerdy-looking Gates with his boyish smile, tinted glasses and shaggy hair nearly covering his ears.
The photo has drawn attention to a driving record that includes two arrests in New Mexico in the 1970s and one in California in 1989.
The 42-year-old Microsoft chairman said he was 21 when the photo was taken.
Gates was arrested in 1975 for speeding and driving without a license and in 1977 for running a stop sign and driving without a license, Albuquerque police said. He was arrested again in 1989 in California on suspicion of drunken driving, a charge that was later reduced.
Gates first saw it when representatives of the city of Albuquerque asked if they could release it to Brill's Content, which had requested it, said Dean Katz, a Microsoft spokesman.
Gates showed the photo at a speech in May in what Brill's Content said was some pre-emptive damage control by the computer billionaire.

Looks like some kind of colored beverage. It's what happens when you eat and drink in front of the keyboard. Heck, we ALL should know about that!
As does the "about" screen.
I had to bookmark this.
Well.... Of course he really started out on the Altair :)
...and now collapse in tears every time they get a credit card bill.
And Apple stole it from the Xerox 8010 Star while Jobs was visiting Xerox PARC.

OMGROFLBBQ!!!!11!!!
Well...I dunno. That sticker says IBM on it. :D
Not surprising Gates had one, as he essentially stole the Mac hierarchial filing system to make Windows.
Microsoft was never an innovator, just a master at commercializing products.
