I remember there was a Mac vs IBM debate in the dorms even back then! I bought a IIe in H.S. The teller at the bank asked the manager if I could take out $2200 in cash.
(It was my money!)

Actually, if you look at the EXIF tags inside the JPG files, you will see the following comment: Bill Gates, CEO of Microsoft, reclines on his desk in his office soon after the release of Windows 1.0. 1985 Bellevue, Washington, USA
So, as always, Slashdot is wrong. It is from 1985, not 1983. But, amazingly enough, it actually is Bill Gates, and it is real.
Good find, DMtW. 1985 it is.

Say what you will about Mr. Gates, but he sure has this marketing thing down pat.
He's rich because he knows how to market, not because he has the best product.
Stop by McDonalds on the way home and see the comparison.

The pic is real, but it's probably never been in a teenie-bopper magazine. This was probably in a newspaper or computer magazine.

Heh, I don't recline by striking sexy poses on top of my desk.
Moderator please change the title to "Bill Gates, Pioneer for Geek Metrosexuals"
To: ChadGore
Looks like one, and if those pixs are from '83 he got it before the public at large had a chance to get one.
