A rough cut (hence timecode in view) of a 1994 interview with Bill Gates filmed two years before the birth of Google about the dawn of the internet. If you can ignore interviewer Benjamin Woolley's tragic hairstyle and misplaced attempts to enliven the item with toasters, you will hear Gates give a pretty precise forecast of what was about to his us all. Filmed for BBC's The Net.

  • I remember when my dad brought home our first PC. It was a Tandy 386sx 25MHz with 2MB of RAM and Windows 3.1. Wow, things have changed since 1995! If it weren't for that old PC and a screw driver, I would have never started my IT Company. I love Technology!

  • @TwiztedAnimator Not wanting to brag, but my first PC had a 16-bit processor (speeds weren't quoted in those days), 64Kb (yes, that's kilobytes) and a 10Mb hard disk. The operating system was called CP/M.

  • @bwoolley LoL... luck you! Was it one of those computers with the Green or Amber CRT monitor?

  • @TwiztedAnimator Green.

  • The weld?

    Bill Gates wants to run the weld.

  • @ByJTRogers He would probably love to see all the nay sayers today..."Told you so"

  • How old is this video, really? Windows 7 is pretty great. A great gaming PC can be had for about the same price of a, well, Mac that is made for little more than web surfing.

  • He's got windows for glasses! Size of those specs!

  • Bill was a very appealing when young. He had beautiful lips! *-*

  • hes clearly built a time machine.

  • he's a total Boss.

  • You had me at gobbledygook --fapper.

  • @bwoolley Do you still have it? That would be a museum piece. Put it next to the ENIAC.
