You'd think that with his vast wealth he would have secured all the negatives and copies of these photos years ago....

... and deprive America of his dreamy good looks?

Nope. It's an IBM AT. 80286, running at 6mhz.

You suppose ol' Bill got an advance system from the folks at Apple to develop software for them? Wouldn't surprise me.

In '83 Microsoft was working on MS Word for the Mac, before moving it to DOS.

The IBM AT 80286 wasn't released until 1984.

Hm. And the Mac in the picture wasn't released until 1984.

So either the date attributed to the picture is wrong, or Bill Gates was photographed with advance editions of systems produced by IBM and Apple. Somehow I doubt that the NDA allowed that sort of thing...

Okay, I'll bite. Even by the pop culture standards of 1983, why would Bill Gates have a photo spread in "Teen Beat"?

Either these photos were from some other publication, or it's an amazingly good photoshop job.
