"gates was a cool guy but money ruined him"
Bill Gates, with all the billions he will give away, will be responsible for saving more lives and helping more people on this planet then any one individual in the history of mankind.
Money may have 'ruined' Bill Gates the 'cool' dweeb, but it principally turned him into a great man.

This was the day of Main Frame computers,pc's were just toys to the industry at the time.IBM was selling million dollar computers to Governments and big business. It would be another ten years before the pc started to get to a point where the the main frame computer started to decline.

bill gates and the maker of apple worked together to make dos then bill gates claimed it as his own then they went to court and bill gates lost but he still claimed dos as his own then the apple computer came along which was the start of the mouse and desktop and bill gates stole the idea and made windows, even though macs/apples are better people like windows more ;(

$50,000? SCP really blundered by selling. Hindsight is 20/20, but they could have gotten in on the pie if they LICENSED Q-DOS just like Microsoft did later on with MS-DOS. Pretty good business dealing for geeks like Allen and Gates.
